He was a hard-headed man

He was brutally handsome

And she was teminally 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

She said faster faster, the lights are turning red

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Eager for action and hot for the game

The calling attraction, the drop of a name

They knew all the right people

They went rushing down that freeway

Messed around and got lost

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 f
