He was a hard-headed man 
He was brutally handsome now, and she was terminally pretty 
She held him up, and he held her for ransome 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 makes you lose your mind, 
Life in the fast lane
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, 
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane
Blowin' and burnin', 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 says he's comin', but you gotta pay him in cash." 
They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around and got lost 
They didn't care they were just dyin' 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
