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
  Sprung from cages 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 were young
  Cause tramps like us
  Baby, we were born to run
  Yes, girl, we were
  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 cross my engines
  Together we could break this trap
  Well run till we drop, and, baby, well never go back
  Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
  Cause, baby, Im just a scared and lonely rider
  But I gotta know how it feels
  I wanna know if love is wild
  Babe, I wanna know if love is real
  Oh, can you show me?
  Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
  Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors, and the boys try to look so hard
  The amusement park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
  I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight in an everlasting kiss
  One, two, three, four
  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
  Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness, Ill love you with all of the madness in my soul
  Oh, someday, girl, I dont know when
  Were gonna get to that place where we really wanna go, and well walk in the sun
  But till then, tramps like us
  Baby, we were born to run
  Aw, honey, tramps like us
  Baby, we were born to run
  Come on, Wendy, tramps like us
  Baby, we were born to run
  Run
  Mm
  Oh-oh-oh-oh
  Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
  Mm
  Whoa
  Oh
  Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
