Lyrics

[Intro] One, two [Verse 1] In the day, we sweat it out on the streets Of a runaway American dream At night, we ride through mansions of glory In suicide machines Sprung from cages out on Highway 9 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line Oh, baby, this town rips the bones from your back It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap We gotta get out while we're young 'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run [Verse 2] Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend I wanna guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims And strap your hands across my engines Together we could break this trap We'll run 'til we drop, baby, we'll never go back Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire? 'Cause I'm just a scared and lonely rider I gotta find out how it feels I wanna know if love is wild I wanna know if love is real Oh, can you show me? [Bridge] Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones Scream down the boulevard The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors The boys try to look so hard The amusement park rises bold and stark Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight In an everlasting kiss [Verse 3] One, two, three The highways jammed with broken heroes On a last chance power drive Everybody's out on the run tonight There's no place left to hide Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Oh, someday, girl, I don't know when We're gonna get to that place We really wanna go We'll walk in the sun But 'til then, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run Sing it, tramps like us Oh, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run
