Lyrics:

Once I had a good friend, very dear to me

He said, "I can handle it, it doesn't worry me"

Cocaine and the needle, I know when to say no

Let me tell you: my good friend, ain't here no more



Living in the fast lane, never go slow

Living in the fast lane, anything goes



Way back in the sixties, I remember well

Mind blowing parties, gate to living hell

First it gives you sweet dreams, makes your mind fly free

But that goddamn' habit is killing by degree



Living in the fast lane, never go slow

Living in the fast lane, anything goes



Builds walls around you, bars up the door

Makes a strong man heplless, cry out for more

Makes you beg for mercy, on your knees and pray

Time bomb on your brain, ticking night and day



Living in the fast lane, never go slow

Living in the fast lane, anything goes
