Born to Run Songtext
von Something for Kate

In the day we sweat it out on the streets
Of run-away American dreams
At night we ride through mansions of glowing
Suicide machines
Spun from cages out on Highway 9
Drunk with fuel injected and steppin′ out over the line
Whoa, baby, this town strips 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
Oh, let me in, I wanna be your friend
I wanna indulge your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs ′cross these velvet rims
And strap your hands ′cross my engines
Together we can break this trap
We'll run ′til we drop
And baby, we'll never go back
Whoa, will you walk with me out on the wire?
′Cause baby, I'm just as scared and lonely


But I gotta know how it feels
I wanna know if love is wild
I wanna know if love is real
Oh, yes, I do
Beyond the palace, hemi-powered
Drums scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in the rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
It′s a huddle of a man in the mist
I wanna die with you out on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
The highways are filled with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
And everyone's out on the run tonight
But there's no place left to hide
Together, girl, we′ll live with the sadness
I love you with all the madness in my soul
Whoa, someday, girl, I don′t know when
We're gonna get to that place
We both really wanted to go and walk in the sun
But ′til then, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Oh yeah, honey, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Oh yeah, honey, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
