Teddy I'm Ready-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
