Lyrics Captain Jack (Live) - 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
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
Ooh-oh-ho

'Cause 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', woah-ho-woah
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
Ooh-oh-ho

So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
Ah, but still your fingers gonna pick your nose
After all
Ooh-oh-ho

And Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Ah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin', oh-ho-oh
Oh yeah, yeah

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
And what for
Ooh-oh-ho

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

But Captain Jack can get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
On Captain Jack you can rely tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'
Oh-woah-woah-oh
Oh yeah, yeah

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

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 your mother makes your bed
And that's too long
Ooh-oh-ho, woah, woah yeah

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Ah, 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
Ah, Captain Jack can make you die tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'

Oh-ho
Oh-ho-oh
