Circle left
*He was a hard-headed man; he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
Allemande the corner, then dosado
Men star left one time
Turn thru at home, then left allemande
Swing your girl and promenade
**They had one thing in common, she always said
"Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red"

*Eager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction; the drop of a name

**There were lines in the tabloids; lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race

Head (Side) couples square thru go three hands 'round
Then you cloverleaf
Everybody do a double pass thru and track 2
When you're done swing thru, recycle friend
Pass thru, U-turn back
And swing your corner girl and promenade
(It was) *life in the fast lane; sure to make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane

Four boys promenade inside the ring
Get back and swing; everybody swing
Join hands and circle to the left you know
Allemande the corner girl and weave the ring
Life in the fast lane; sure to make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane; everything - all the time
Life in the fast lane; sure to make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane; everything - all the time
