He was a hard headed man
He was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up
And he held her for ransom
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 turning red
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Last in the fast lane
Are you with me so far
Eager for action
And hot 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 heavenly bills
Log on to hide ad.
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 lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
Blowing and burning
Blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign
Took a turn for the worse
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 coming
But you gotta pay him cash
They went rushing down that freeway
Messed around and got lost
They didn't care
They were just dying 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, uh huh
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
