Billy Joel Captain Jack Lyrics

Captain Jack Lyrics

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
Tired of living in your one
horse town
you'd like to find a little hole in the ground,
for
awhile..

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

(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 smilin'

Oh
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
Ah but still your
fingers gonna pick your nose
After all,..

(chorus)

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?

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.

(chorus)

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 21 and still your
mother makes your bed,
And that's too long

(chorus)
(chorus)
