In the day we sweat it out in the streets
Asus2 Bsus
of a runaway American dream
E Asus2 Bsus
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Pre-chorus:
A C#m/G#
Sprung from cages out on highway nine,
F#m C#m/G# E
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin’ out over the line
D/E A C#m/G#
Oh – Baby this town rips the bones from your back
F#m C#m/G#
It’s a death trap, it’s a suicide rap
E C#m/G#
We gotta get out while we’re young
E/A Bsus E
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
E E Asus2 Bsus
Yes girl we were
E E Asus2 Bsus
Verse:
Bsus E
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
Asus2 Bsus
I want to guard your dreams and visions
E
Just wrap your legs ’round these velvet rims
Asus2 Bsus
and strap your hands ‘cross my engines
Pre-chorus:
A C#m/G#
Together we could break this trap
F#m C#m/G# E D/E
We’ll run till we drop, baby we’ll never go back Oh
A C#m/G#
Will you walk with me out on the wire
F#m C#m/G#
Cause baby I’m just a scared and lonely rider
E C#m/G#
But I gotta know how it feels
E/A Bsus
I want to know if love is wild, babe I want to know
E
if love is real
E E Asus2 Bsus
Oh can you show me
E E Asus2 Bsus
Huh! Da! Oh! Ah!

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard

Girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors

And the boys try to look so hard

The amusement park rises bold and stark

Together Wendy we’ll live with the sadness

Someday girl I don’t know when, we’re gonna get to that place
