Born To Run (Live at Giants Stadium, E. Rutherford, NJ - August 1985)

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 'round these velvet rims

And strap your hands 'cross my engines

Together we could break this trap

We'll run 'til we drop, and 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

Babe, I wanna know if love is real

Oh, can you show me?

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 stark

Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist

I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight

In an everlasting kiss

One, two, three, four

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 in 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

But 'til then, tramps like us

Baby, we were born to run

Tramps like us

Baby, we were born to run

Tramps like us

Baby, we were born to run
