Jack Of Speed Lyrics by Steely Dan

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
