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 on Highway 9 chrome wheeled, fuel injected and, steppin'
out over __ (to 1)
Oh Baby this town rips the bones from your back,
it's a death trap, ______ it's a suicide rap.We
get out while we're young 'Cause tramps like us
baby we were born run.
Hey 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.
And Together we could break this trap,
We'll run till we drop and, baby we'll never go back.
Oh will you walk with me out on the wire?
Girl, I'm just a scared and a lonely rider,
But I gotta know how it feels,
I want to know if love is wild, baby,
I want to know if love is real.

Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors
and 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 street tonight
In an everlasting kiss

For the last verse the lead guitar plays the main riff
Well, The highways jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
Well everybody's out on the run tonight
But 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
Where we really wanna go
And we'll walk in the sun
Till then tramps like us
Baby we were born to run.
Enjoy!
