- | BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN's: BORN TO RUN
- |
- | ....especially the part about "SLAP YOUR HANDS 'CROSS MY ENGINES"
-
- Here ya go, straight from the inside of the album cover:
-
- In the day we sweat it out on the streets
- of a runaway American dream.
- At night we ride through mansions of
- glory on suicide machines.
- Sprung from cages out on highway 9
- Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
- And stepping out over the line.
- 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 want to guard your dreams and visions
- Just 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
- 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 your 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 rear-view 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 out on the streets tonight
- In an everlasting kiss
-
- The highways 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 the madness in my soul
- 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
-
