He was a hard-headed man,
He was brutally handsome,
She was terminally pretty.
She held him up,
And he held her for randsome
In the heart of a cold, cold city.
He had a nasty reputation
As a cruel dude,
They said he was ruthless,
Said he was crude.
They had one thing in common;
They were good in bed.
She'd say, "Faster, faster! The lights are turning red!"
Life in the fast lane.
Surely make you lose your mind.
Life in the fast lane.
Uh huh.
Are you with me so far?
Eager for action,
Hot for the game.
The comming 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 in the evenin',
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 lose your mind.
Life in the fast lane.
Alright.
Life in the fast lane.
Everything, all the time.
Life in the fast lane.
Uh huh.
Rollin' 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 been up and down this highway...
Haven't seen a god damn thing."
He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash!"
"The doctor said he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash."
They were rushin' down that freeway,
Messed around and got lost,
They didn't care,
They were just dyin' to get off.
And it was,
Life in the fast lane.
Surely make you lose your mind.
Life in the fast lane.
Uh huh.
Life in the fast lane.
Everything, all the time.
Life in the fast lane.
Uh huh.
