Billy Joel — Captain Jack

[Verse 1] Saturday night, and you're still hanging around You're tired of living in your one horse town You'd like to find a little hole in the ground For a while Mmhmm [Verse 2] 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 Mmhmm [Chorus] 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, and you'll be smiling Oh, yeah yeah [Verse 3] 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 Mmhmm [Verse 4] So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes And you look so polished From your hair down to your toes Oh, but still your finger's Gonna pick your nose After all Mmhmm, yeah [Chorus] 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, and you'll be smiling Ohh, oh Oh, yeah yeah [Verse 5] So you decide to take a holiday You got your tape deck And your brand new Chevrolet Ah, there ain't no place to go anyway What for? Mmhmm [Verse 6] So you got everything Ah, but nothing's cool They just found your father In the swimming pool And you guess you won't be goin' back to school Anymore [Chorus] But Captain Jack can get you high tonight And take you to your special island Oh, Captain Jack will get you by tonight Just a little push, and you'll be smiling La la la Oh, yeah yeah [Verse 7] So you play your albums And you smoke your pot And you meet your girlfriend in the parkin' lot Ohh, but still you're aching for the things you haven't got What went wrong? Mmhmm [Verse 8] 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 21, and still your mother makes your bed And that's too long Oh, oh, oh Ohh ohh whoa yeah yeah [Chorus] But Captain Jack will get you high tonight And take you to your special island Well, now Captain Jack Will get you by tonight Just a little push, and you'll be smiling [Chorus] Oh, Captain Jack Will get you high tonight And take you to your special island Well, now Captain Jack Could make you die tonight Just a little push, and you’ll be smiling [Chorus] Yeah, Captain Jack will get you high tonight And take you to your special island Captain Jack Will make you die tonight [Outro] Well, now Captain Jack Could make you die tonight Just a little push, and you'll be smiling
