He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome
And she was teminally 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
One thing in common
They were good in bed
She said faster  faster, the lights are turning red
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Eager for action and 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
SOLO
Blowing and burning, 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 goddam thing
He said call the doctor
I think I'm gonna crash
The doctor say he's coming, but you gotta pay him cash
They went rushing down that freeway
Messed around and got lost
They didn't care they were just dieing to get off
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
