Roger Daltrey - Born to Run lyrics
[Roger Daltrey - Born to Run lyrics]
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
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
Wendy, 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 'cross my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run 'til we drop, baby
We'll never go back
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
'Cause, baby
I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I wanna know if love is wild
I wanna know if love is 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 dark
Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
I wanna die with you, Wendy
In my arms tonight in an everlasting kiss
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 of
The madness of my soul
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
Until then, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Oh, Wendy, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Oh, honey, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
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
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
Wendy, 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 'cross my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run 'til we drop, baby
We'll never go back
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
'Cause, baby
I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I wanna know if love is wild
I wanna know if love is 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 dark
Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist

Oh, Wendy, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Oh, honey, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
