The coming attraction, the drop of a name
In the heart of the cold, cold city
Life in the fast lane
They were rushin' down that freeway, messed around and got lost
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it
Life in the fast lane
He said, "Call the doctor, I think I'm gonna crash"
Life in the fast lane
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race
They didn't see the stop sign, took a turn for the worst
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
She'd say, "Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red"
She said, "Listen baby, you can hear the engine ring
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
Eager for action, hot for the game
Life in the fast lane
Out every evening until it was light
Are you with me so far?
They didn't care, they were just dyin' to get off and it was
Life in the fast lane
She held him up and he held her for ransom
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills
"The doctor say he's comin' but you gotta pay in cash"
They had one thing in common they were good in bed
Glowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They said he was ruthless, said he was crude
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavily bills
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddamn thing"
