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, mm
|
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 lose your mind
|
Life in the fast lane, everything 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 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 comin', but you gotta pay him cash."
|
They went rushin' down that freeway,
|
messed around and got lost
|
They didn't know they were just dyin' to get off
|
And it was life in the fast lane
|
Life in the fast lane
|
