Captain Jack - Billy Joel
Saturday night and you're still
hangin around
You're tired of livin
in your one horse town
You'd like to find a little
hole in the ground for a while

So you go to the village in your
tie dye jeans
And you stare at the junkies
and the closet queens
It's like some pornographic
magazine and you smile

But Captain Jack will
get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push
n you'll be smilin

Oh yeah yeah

Your sister's gone out
she's on a date
you just sit at home
and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon
But you just can't wait
for that call

So you stand on the corner in your
new English clothes
And you look so polished
from your hair down to your toes
But still your fingers gonna
pick your nose after all

But Captain Jack will get you
high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push
n you'll be smilin

Oh yeah yeah

So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck
and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah but there's no place to go
anyway and
what for

So you've got everything
but nothin's cool
They just found your father
in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going
back to school anymore

But Captain Jack will get you
high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push
n you'll be smilin
La da da
Oh yeah yeah

So you play your albums
and you smoke your pot
And you meet your girlfriend
in the parking lot
Oh but still you're aching
for the things you haven't got
What went wrong

And if you can't understand
why your world is so dead
why you've got to keep in style
and feed your head
Well you're twenty one and
still you mother
makes your bed
And that's too long

But Captain Jack will get you
high tonight
And take you to your special island
And i Captain Jack
will get you by tonight
Just a little push
n you'll be smilin
oh Captain Jack
will get you high tonight
take you to your special island
And i Captain Jack
will get you by tonight
Just a little push
n you'll be smilin
But Captain Jack
will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
