In the day we sweated out in the streets of a runaway American dream At night we ride through the mansions of glory and suicide machines Sprung from cages on a highway nine Four-wheel fuel injected and stepping out over the line Oh, baby, this town brings a bolt from your back It's a death trap, it's a suicide trap We gotta get out while we're young Cause tramps like us, baby, we're about to run When you let me in, I wanna be your friend I wanna guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your legs around these velvet rims And strap your hands past 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 water Cause, baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider Gotta know how it feels I wanna know if love is wild, babe I wanna 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 hot The amusement park rises bold and stark Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist I wanna dive with you out on the streets tonight In a everlasting kiss Oh, 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 love you with all the madness in my soul Oh, someday, babe, 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 Tracks like us, baby, we were born to run Oh, tracks like us, baby, we were born to run Oh, tracks like us, baby, we were born to run *
