He was a hard headed man
He was [bad word] 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 [bad word] dude
They said he [bad word] they said he was [bad word] They had one thing [bad word] 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
Are you with me so far?

Eager for action and bot for the game [bad word] 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 lose 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 [bad word] , but you gotta pay him cash."
They [bad word]  down that freeway, messed around
And got lost
They didn't know they were just dyin' to get off
And it was life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
