He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome,
and she was teminally pretty
She held him up, and he held
her for ransome in the heart
of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation
as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless,
they said he was crude
They had one thing in common,
they were
good in bed
She'd say, 'Faster, faster.
The lights are turnin' red."
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you
lose your mind, mm
Are you with me so far?
Eager for action and
bot for the game
The coming attraction,
the drop of a name
They knew all the right
people, they took
all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties
they paid heavily bills.
There were lines on the mirror
lines on her face
She pretended not to notice,
she was caught up
in the race
Out every evening,
until it was light
He was too tired to make it,
she was too tired
to fight about it
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you
lse your mind
Life in the fast lane,
everything all the time
Life in the fast lane,
uh huh
Blowin' and burnin',
blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign,
took a turn for the worst.
She said, "Listen, baby.You
can hear the engine
ring.We've been up and down
this highway;
haven't seen a goddam thing."
He said,"Call the doctor.
I think I'm gonna crash."
"The doctor say he's comin',
but you gotta pay him cash
They went rushin'
down that freeway,
messed around
and got lost
They didn't know they were
just dyin' to get off
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you
lse your mind
Life in the fast lane,
everything all the time
Life in the fast lane,
uh huh
And it was life
in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
