Life in the Fast Lane Lyrics

Yeah!
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!"
As the lights would turn red
Life in the fast lane
Shorty, make me lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Yeah, ooh!
Eager for action
And hot for the game
The coming attraction
The drive 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 know
That 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
Shorty, make me lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane
Yeah!
Blowing and burning
And 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 goddamn thing!"
He said
"Call the doctor
I think I'm gonna crash!"
The doctor said
"He's comin' but you gotta pay him cash!"
They went rushin' down the freeway
Messin' around and got lost
They didn't care
They were just dyin' to go
And it was
Life in the fast lane
Shorty, make me lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane
Hey, yeah, oh, oh, oh
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
