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 common

They were good in bed

She said faster faster

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 the 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

Glowing 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 rev

we've up and down this highway haven't seen a goddamn 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 dieing 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

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane
