Lyrics
He was a hard-headed man,he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up and he held for ransom
In the heart of the 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
Eager for action and 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 heavenly 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 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
Life in the fast lane everything all the time
Life in the fast lane
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 god-damn thing"
He said, "call the doctor,I think I'm gonna crash"
"The doctor say he's coming but you gotta pay in cash."
They were rushing 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
Life in the fast lane everything all the time
Life in the fast lane
