Teddy I’m Ready Songtext
von Ezra Furman

Everybody talks sarcastic
Everybody′s in the know
I think I might do something drastic
If they don't let me go away from it all
But I can′t afford a jet plane
And the price of gas is high
There's nowhere that I can run to
When I feel so sick and shy
Gonna make a big noise to the sky

Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll
And if she smiles at me in the snow
Baby, I′m ready to rock, rock and roll


And I whispered that I loved her
In the ancient photo booth
She′s just got one of those faces
That demands the truth
She likes Ted Hawkins too
And the truth is just a mole rat
Crawling underneath the earth
It is naked and it's gnawing away at the world
And it hurts so bad I could cry
But they don′t allow no crying
In the cold straight world of men
So I build my little fortress
'Til I can get even

Teddy, I′m ready to rock and roll
I can see now, she's an angel
Flying in my bedroom window
I′m ready to rock and roll, ready to rock and roll
