Lyrics

[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 Mmm-hmm [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 Mmm-hmm [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 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 Mmm-hmm [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 Mmm-hmm, 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 Oh, oh, 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? Mmm-hmm [Verse 6] So, you've 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] 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 Oh, but still you're aching for the things you haven't got What went wrong? Mmm-hmm [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 twenty-one and still your mother makes your bed And that's too long Oh, oh, oh, woah, 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 Oh, Captain Jack will get you high tonight Take you to your special island Well, now Captain Jack could make you die tonight Just a little push and you'll be smiling 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 will make you die tonight Just a little push and you'll be smiling
