|
He was a hard-headed man |
|
He was brutally handsome, |
|
and she was teminally 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 make you lose your mind, mm |
|
Life in the fast lane |
|
Eager for action and bot 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 heavily 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 lse your mind |
|
Life in the fast lane, |
|
everything all the time |
|
Life in the fast lane, uh huh |
|
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 say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash." |
|
They went rushin' down that freeway, |
|
messed around and got lost |
|
They didn't know they were just dyin' to get off |
