Jack of Speed (early lyrics)

Aaron's rolling now most ev'ry night
Skatin' backwards at the speed of light
He's changed - in a thousand little ways
He's changed - oh, darling, yes indeed
You know he's stuck all in the middle, he's
Hanging with the Jack of Speed

Sheena's party, babe - is the case in point
That bogus haircut just snuck out that joint
He's gone - he may be sleeping in your bed
But he's gone - oh, darling, guaranteed
He may be layed out on the sofa
But he's smoking with the Jack of Speed

I know that you're thinking how it might be just fine
But one full blown tear across that thin white line
But will you be laughing when you're all alone?
Looking down on the upside, locked out in the danger zone

He can't hear you, honey - that's OK
Throw your luggage in that Chevrolet
Right on - you run out on that lame stampede
Right on - oh angel, guaranteed
You got to get out little darling
Cause you're dancing with the Jack of Speed
