Life In The Fast Lane - Live On MTV, 1994

He was a hard-headed man, he was brutally handsome

And she was terminally 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

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

Life in the fast lane, yeah

Are you with me so far?

Eager for action, hot 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 heavenly 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, yeah

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 worse

She said, "Listen, baby, you can hear the engine ring

We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddamn 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 care, they were just dyin' to get off, and it was

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane, uh-huh

Life in the fast lane

Everything, all the time

Life in the fast lane, uh-huh

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane
