Life In The Fast Lane
He was a hard-headed manHe was brutally handsome now, and she was terminally prettyShe held him up, and he held her for ransome in the heartof the cold, cold cityHe had a nasty reputation as a cruel dudeThey said he was ruthless, they said he was crudeThey had one thing in common, they were good in bedShe'd say, 'Faster,faster. The lights are turnin' red."Life in the fast laneSurely makes you lose your mind,Life in the fast laneEager for action and hot for the gameThe coming attraction, the drop of a nameThey knew all the right people, they took all the right pillsThey threw outrageous parties, they paid HEAVENLY bills.There were lines on the mirror, lines on her faceShe pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the raceOut every evening, until it was lightHe was too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about itLife in the fast laneSurely make you lose your mindLife in the fast lane,Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast laneBlowin' and burnin', blinded by thirstThey 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 says he's comin', but you gotta pay him in cash."They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around and got lostThey didn't care they were just dyin' to get offAnd it was life in the fast laneSurely make you lose your mindLife in the fast lane,Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast laneLife in the fast lane
