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
