Born to Run [Hammersmith Odeon, London ’75]

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back

[Chorus 2]
Will you 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, babe, I want to know if love is real

[Bridge]
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 the mist
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

[Verse 3]
The highway's jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
There's no place left to hide

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

[Chorus 3]
Oh, someday girl, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place we really want to go
And we'll walk in the sun
But 'til then, tramps like us, baby, we were born to run

[Refrain]
Come on, Wendy, tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
Come on, Wendy, tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
