Life In The Fast Lane

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 turnin' red."



Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane.. ehhh



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

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 loose your mind

Life in the fast lane yeah

Life in the fast lane

Every thing 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 goddamn thing."

He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."

"The doctor says he's comin',

But you gotta pay him cash."

They went 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 loose your mind

Life in the fast lane ehh

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
