Jack of Speed

Lyrics

Teddy's rolling now most every night
 Skatin' backwards at the speed of light
 He's changed - in a thousand little ways
 He's changed - yes indeed
 You know he's movin' on metal, yes he's
 Hanging tight with the Jack of Speed
 Sheena's party - there's a case in point
 That right-wing hooey sure stunk up the joint
 He's gone - he walks through the old routines
 But he's gone - guaranteed
 He may be sittin' in the kitchen, but he's
 Steppin' out with the Jack of Speed
 You maybe got lucky for a few good years
 But there's no way back from there to here
 He's a one way rider
 On the shriek express
 And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less
 He can't hear you honey - that's alright
 Pack some things and head up into the light
 Don't stop - he'll be callin' out your name
 But don't stop when you hear him plead
 You better move now little darlin' or you'll be
 Trading fours with the Jack of Speed
