Songtexte Captain Jack - Live April 1972 At Sigma Sound Studios, WMMR Radio, Philadelphia, PA - Billy Joel
Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
You're tired of living in your one horse town
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground
For awhile, mmm-hmm
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, mmm-hmm
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 smilin'
La, da, da
Oh yeah, yeah
Your sister's gone out, she's on a date
But you just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait
For that call, mmm-hmm
So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
Aw, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose
After all, mmm-hmm, yeah
But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack can get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'
No, no, no, no, da, da, bu, du, da
So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah, but there ain't no place to go anyway, except Philadelphia
What for? Mmm-hmm
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 going back to school
Anymore, mmm-hmm, yeah, yeah
But Captain Jack can get you high tonight
Take you to your special island
Captain Jack can make you fly tonight
Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'
Oh, no, no, no
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? Mmm-hmm
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 21 and still your mother makes your bed
And that's too long, mmm-hmm, woah, woah, yeah, yeah
But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Oh, said Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'
Well now, Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Oh, Captain Jack could make you die tonight
But just a little push, and you'll be smilin'
Thank you
Whoo
