Billy Joel - Captain Jack Lyrics
Saturday night and you're still hangin' aroundYou're tired of livin' in your one horse townYou'd like to find a little hole in the ground for a whileSo you go to the village in your tie-dye jeansAnd you stare at the junkies and the closet queensIt's like some pornographic magazine, and you smileBut Captain Jack will get you high tonightAnd take you to your special islandCaptain Jack will get you by tonightJust a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'Oh yeah, yeahYour sister's gone out, she's on a dateAnd you just sit at home and masturbateYour phone is gonna ring soon,But you just can't wait, for that callSo you stand on the corner in your new English clothesAnd you look so polished from your hair down to your toesBut still your fingers gonna pick your nose, after allBut Captain Jack will get you high tonightAnd take you to your special islandCaptain Jack will get you by tonightJust a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'Oh yeah, yeahSo you decide to take a holidayYou got your tape deck and your brand new ChevroletAh, but there's no place to go anyway and what forYou've got everything, but nothin's coolThey just found your father in the swimming poolAnd you guess you won't be going back to school anymoreBut Captain Jack will get you high tonightAnd take you to your special islandCaptain Jack will get you by tonightJust a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'La da, daOh yeah, yeahSo you play your albums and you smoke your potAnd you meet your girlfriend in the parking lotOh, but still you're aching for the things you haven't got,What went wrongAnd if you can't understand why your world is so deadAnd why you've got to keep in style and feed your headWell, you're twenty one and still you mother makes your bedAnd that's too longBut Captain Jack will get you high tonightAnd take you to your special islandCaptain Jack will get you by tonightJust a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonightYeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight
