Life In The Fast Lane

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 ^[1]
