Life in the fast lane  Eagles

He was a hard-headed man he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up and he held for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless said he was crude
They had one thing in common
They were good in bed
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

Are you with me so far?

Eager for action, hot for the game
The calling attraction, the drop of the 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
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane

Glowing and burning, 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 rev
"We've 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 coming but you gotta pay in cash"
They were rushing down that freeway
Messed around and got lost
They didn't care they were just dieing to get off and it was

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 fast lane
快車道上的人生  老鷹合唱團

他這個人頭腦冷靜,有種粗獷的帥勁
她則有極端的美艷
她抱住他,他則抱緊贖金
在這座冰冷城市的心臟
他的名聲卑劣,是個殘酷的傢伙
人們說他既冷酷無情又粗俗
他們倆有一個共通點
就是在床上都很行
她說:「快點,再快一點!」
   「快變成紅燈了!」

快車道上的人生
肯定會讓你失去理智
快車道上的人生

目前為止,你跟我同一國嗎?

渴望行動,熱衷比賽
吸引力的召喚,揚名立萬的機會
他們認識重要人物
吞了該吞的藥丸
辦了許多驚世駭俗的派對
他們付了天價
鏡子上有裂痕,她的臉上有皺紋
她假裝沒看見
她被捲入比賽中
在每個夜晚直到天亮
他累得無法完成比賽
她則累得無法戰鬥

快車道上的人生
肯定會讓你失去理智
快車道上的人生
快車道上的人生
一切都是老樣子
快車道上的人生

發光發熱,被飢渴所蒙蔽
他們沒看見禁止標誌
轉了個大錯特錯的彎
她說:「聽好了,寶貝,你聽到引擎在高速運轉。
我們在高速公路上上下下,卻什麼鬼都看不到。」
他說:「打電話給醫生,可能快要撞車了。」
她說:「醫生說他已經趕來了,但你得付現金。」
他們衝下高速公路
暈頭轉向又迷路
他們不在乎,只想趕緊下車,那是....

快車道上的人生
肯定會讓你失去理智
快車道上的人生
快車道上的人生
一切都是這樣
快車道上的人生

快車道上的人生
快車道上的人生

Life in the fast lane 意指極為忙碌、刺激,但有壓力的生活,因歌詞中大量描述軋車,故直翻為"快車道上的人生"。
