Intro :
I n the day we sweat it out in the streets of a r unaway american d ream
A t night we ride through mansions of glory in s uicide mac hines
S prung from cages out on h ighway 9
C hrome wheeled fuel injected and s teppin' out over the l ine
B aby this town rips the b ones from your back
I t's a death trap i t's a suicide rap
W e gotta get out while we're y oung
cause tramps like us b aby we were born to r un
W endy let me in I wanna be your friendI want to g uard your dreams and v isions
J ust wrap your legs round these velvet rimsAnd s trap your hands across my e ngines
T ogether we could b reak this trap
W e'll run till we drop b aby we'll never go b ack
W ill you walk with me o ut on the wire
cause baby I'm just a scared a nd lonely rider
B ut I gotta find out how it f eels
I want to k now if love is wild g irl I want to know if love is r eal
B eyond the palace h emi-powered drones s cream down the boulevard
T he g irls comb their hair in r earvi ew mirrors
A nd the boys try to look so h ard
The amusement park rises bold and star k
K ids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna d ie with you wendy on the s treets t onight
I n an everlasting k iss
T he highway's jammed with broken heroes on a l ast chance power d rive
E verybody's out on the run tonight but there's n o place left to h ide
T ogether wendy we'll l ive with the sadness
I 'll love you with all the m adness in my s oul
S omeday girl I d on't know when we're gonna g et to that place
W here we really want to go and we'll w alk in the s un
But till t hen b aby we were born to r un
Baby we were born to run
Baby we were born to run
O h Oh Tram ps like us Ba by we were born to r un
O h Oh Tram ps like us Ba by we were born to ru n
Y es born to run
