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 commonthey 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
