Jack of Speed Lyrics

Lyric discussion by milhous451 

Cover art for Jack of Speed lyrics by Steely Dan

moving on metal means moving on rails like a train car. he's on a set course that can't be altered

@milhous451 Metal is also Don's dry smartaleck flipped bird to the heavy metal listeners who make up a disproportionate amount of meth users. But not all. I was one and am a jazz fan and Dan head.

@fuzzbox22 Except this track was apparently written entirely by Walter. So while Don may be singing, any attitudes expressed do not come from him.
