He was a hard-headed kid he was quite strong in the force
And they were mortally strange
Watto held a bet, Jinn agreed of course
In the heart of the Hot, Hot city
He’ll have a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They’ll say he is ruthless say he is crude
They had something to rely on: he was good in the pod
Jar Jar said, "Careful Ani. Mesa ask `why oh God?’"
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Eager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction, the call of your name
They knew all of the people; they took all of the right bets
They threw outrageous parties; they paid heav’nly credits
There was sand on the glass, sand on his face
She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race
Out every evenin' workin’ on the pod
He was too tired to make it; she was too scared to think about it.
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane, very fast all the time
Life in the fast lane
Blowin' and burnin' blinded by sand
They didn't see the pit sign; took a turn for the worst
They said, "Listen, people. You can hear those engines ring.
"We've been up and down this raceway; haven't seen a god-damn thing."
He said, "Call my mommy. I think I'm gonna crash."
"Watto say she's coming but she’s gotta pay in cash."
They were rushing down that raceway; Messed around and got shot
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
Life in the fast lane very fast all the time
Life in the fast lane
