“Life In The Fast Lane”
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
Dia adalah pria yang keras kepala
Dia sangat tampan, dan dia sangat cantik
Dia mengangkatnya, dan dia menahannya untuk tebusan
Di jantung kota yang dingin
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”
Dia memiliki reputasi buruk sebagai pria yang kejam
Mereka bilang dia kejam, mereka bilang dia kasar
Mereka memiliki satu kesamaan
Mereka bagus di tempat tidur, katanya
“Lebih cepat, lebih cepat, lampu menyala merah”
Surely make you lose your mind
(Life in the fast lane) yeah
Pasti bikin kau minder
(Hidup di jalur cepat) ya
Are you with me so far?
Apakah kau denganku sejauh ini?
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 heavenly bills
Bersemangat untuk aksi dan bersemangat untuk game
Daya tarik yang akan datang, setetes nama
Mereka mengenal semua orang yang tepat, mereka meminum semua pil yang tepat
Mereka mengadakan pesta yang keterlaluan, mereka membayar tagihan surgawi
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
Ada garis di cermin, garis di wajahnya
Dia pura-pura tak memperhatikan, dia terjebak dalam perlombaan
Keluar setiap malam, sampai terang
Dia terlalu lelah untuk melakukannya, dia terlalu lelah untuk memperjuangkannya
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) a-ha
Pasti bikin kau minder
(Hidup di jalur cepat) ya
(Hidup di jalur cepat) semuanya, sepanjang waktu
(Hidup di jalur cepat) a-ha
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 goddam thing”
Meniup dan membakar, dibutakan oleh rasa haus
Mereka tak melihat tanda berhenti, berbelok ke arah yang lebih buruk
Dia berkata, “Dengar sayang, kau bisa mendengar mesin berdering”
“Kami sudah naik turun jalan raya ini, belum pernah melihat apa pun”
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
Dia berkata, “Panggil dokter, aku pikir aku akan jatuh”
“Dokter bilang dia akan datang, tapi kau harus membayarnya tunai”
Mereka bergegas menyusuri jalan bebas hambatan itu, mengacau dan tersesat
Mereka tak peduli, mereka hanya ingin turun, dan itu
Surely makes you lose your mind
(Life in the fast lane) yeah
(Life in the fast lane) everything all the time
(Life in the fast lane) a-ha
Pasti bikin kau minder
(Hidup di jalur cepat) ya
(Hidup di jalur cepat) semuanya, sepanjang waktu
(Hidup di jalur cepat) a-ha
