He was a hard-head-ed man

He was bru-tal-ly hand-some,

and she was ter-mi-nal-ly pret-ty 
7     7   7   7   6  -6  -6   6   -6  7   6
She held him up, and he held her for ran-som 
-6  -6  7-6   6  6   -6    6   5-4 4
in the heart of the cold, cold ci-ty 
6   -6-6  7  -6  7 -6  7  6
He had a nas-ty rep-u-ta-tion 
6  6  -6 -6  7
as a cru-el dude

Eager for action and 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 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 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 
And it was life in the fast lane 
Life in the fast lane
