  • Living and dying laughing and crying
    Once you have seen it you will never be the same
    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
    Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

    Motorbreath its how I live my life
    I can't take it any other way
    Motorbreath the sign of living fast
    It is going to take your breath away

    Don't stop for nothing its full speed or nothing
    I am taking down you know whatever is in my way
    Getting your kicks as you are shooting the line
    Sending the shivers up and down my spine

    Motorbreath its how I live my life
    I can't take it any other way
    Motorbreath the sign of living fast
    It is going to take your breath away

    Those people who tell you not to take chances
    They are all missing on what life is about
    You only live once so take hold of the chance
    Don't end up like others the same song and dance

    Motorbreath its how I live my life
    I can't take it any other way
    Motorbreath the sign of living fast
    It is going to take your breath away Writer/s: James Alan Hetfield
