Intro 2x: -
In the day we sweat it out in 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
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend I want to 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 till we drop, baby we'll never go back Oh
Will you walk with me out on the wire `Cause baby I'm just
a scared and lonely rider But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild babe I want to know if love is real
Instrumental: - -
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark as Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight In an everlasting kiss

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Bsus7
Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll 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
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run
Ah honey tramps like us baby we were born to run
( Bsus7 ) till end
Come on Wendy tramps like us baby we were born to run
