"In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway nine,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
H-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
Yes, girl we were"
We work everyday to pursue our American Dreams
During the night we go out and enjoy the fruits of our labor
People are driving fast on the highway
Nice cars cutting into different lanes
This town will tear you down
It will be the death of you
We have to get away while we still can
People like us were destined to escape
"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 'cross my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
H-Oh, Will you walk with me out on the wire
`Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta know how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
Babe I want to know if love is real
Oh, can you show me"
Trust me, I am trying to be your friend
I want to protect your dreams for the future
Wrap your legs around me
put you hands on my chest
Together we could get away
We will live on the road and never return
Will you take a chance with me
Come with me because I am scared and alone
And I want to find love
I want to know if love is different
Is love real
"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 a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
In an everlasting kiss
One, two, three, four"
Chryslers race down the street
Girls are passengers
and the boys driving try not to look
Amusement park rides stand strong and grim
Kids hang out on the beach in the dark
I could die with you right now
I kiss that would stay with me forever
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
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
H-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
But till then tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
Highway is full of people looking for a chance to be known
Everyone is looking for a place to find themselves tonight
But there is no where left to look
Together we fight through life's sadness
I will love you with all of my being
In the future
we will get to where we want to be
We will be happy
But until then oursiders like us
We were destined to get away
