Jack Of Speed — текст песни (Steely Dan)

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
