The Hollies - Born to Run lyrics
[The Hollies - Born to Run lyrics]
In the day we sweat it out in
The streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages out 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, 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 want to guard your dreams and visions
Wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims and
Strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby
We'll never go back
Oh, so 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, girl
I want to know if love is real
Beyond the Palace
Hemi powered drones scream down the boulevard
The 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 streets tonight in an everlasting kiss
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on
A last chance power drive
Everyone'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
Oh someday, girl, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and
We'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us, baby
We were born to run
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 out 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, 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 want to guard your dreams and visions
Wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims and
Strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby
We'll never go back
Oh, so 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, girl
I want to know if love is real
Beyond the Palace
Hemi powered drones scream down the boulevard
The 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 streets tonight in an everlasting kiss
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on
A last chance power drive
Everyone'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
Oh someday, girl, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and
We'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us, baby
We were born to run
Tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
