Billy Joel - Captain Jack Lyrics

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 at night 
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 

Your sister's gone out, she's on a date 
And 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 at night 
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 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... 

You've got everything but nothing's cool, 
They've just found your father in the swimming pool 
And you guess you won't be going back to school 
Anymore... 

But Captain Jack can get you high at night 
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 
And why you've got to keep in style and feed your head 
Well, you're twenty-one and still your mother makes your bed 
and that's too long... 

But Captain Jack will get you high at night 
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 
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight 
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight
