text: 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
  Were 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
  Its a death trap, its 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 wanna guard your dreams and visions
  Yeah, just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
  Strap your hands across my engines
  And together we could break this trap
  Well run til we drop, and well never go back
  Walk with me out on the wire
  `Cause Im just as scared and a lonely rider
  I gotta find out how it feels
  I want to know if love is wild, I want to know if love is real
  Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
  The 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
  The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
  Everybodys out on the run tonight, but theres no place left to hide
  So together, Wendy, we’ll live with the sadness
  I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul
  Someday girl, I dont know when, we’re gonna get to that place
  Where we really want to go
  And well walk in the sun
  Til then tramps like us, baby we were born to run
  Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa
  Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa
  Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa
  Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa
  Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa
