Jack Of Speed

Teddys rolling now most every night
Skatin backwards at the speed of light
Hes changed - in a thousand little ways
Hes changed - yes indeed
You know hes movin on metal, yes hes
Hanging tight with the jack of speed
Sheenas party - theres a case in point
That right-wing hooey sure stunk up the joint
Hes gone - he walks through the old routines
But hes gone - guaranteed
He may be sittin in the kitchen, but hes
Steppin out with the jack of speed
You maybe got lucky for a few good years
But theres no way back from there to here
Hes a one way rider
On the shriek express
And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less
He cant hear you honey - thats alright
Pack some things and head up into the light
Dont stop - hell be callin out your name
But dont stop when you hear him plead
You better move now little darlin or youll be
Trading fours with the jack of speed
