Neil mixes “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen and the 1962 instrumental piece “Alley Cat” by Bent Fabric – which sounded old-timey even in 1962 – to create a much older-sounding Born to Run, which sounds like someone reminiscing about racing in souped up cars (the subject of these 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
Born to Cat was written by Bruce Springsteen & Bent Fabric.
Born to Cat was produced by Neil Cicierega.
Neil Cicierega released Born to Cat on Sat Jul 19 2014.
