He was a hard headed man
He was poorly handsome
And she was totally 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's saying fast
The lights are turning red
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Are you with me so far
Eager for action
Hot for the game
The calling 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 lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane
Blowing and burning
Blinded by thirst
They didn't see a stop sign
Took a turn for the words
She said listen baby you can hear the engine ring
We've been off and down this highway
Haven't seen a goddamn thing
He said call a doctor I
Think I'm gonna crash the doctor say he's coming
But you gotta pay in cash
They will rock you down that freeway
Messed around and got lost they didn't care
They were just trying to get up
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
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
