Captain Jack - Live at the Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA - July 1980

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
