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,.. 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,... 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. Captain Jack can 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 de da, oh yeah,... 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 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' Captain Jack will get you high tonight And take you to your special island Captain Jack could make you die tonight Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'

What you get and what you see Things that don’t come easily Feeling happy in my vein Icicles within my brain (cocain) Something blowing in my head Winter’s ice, it soon will spread Death would freeze my very soul Makes me happy, makes me cold My eyes are blind but I can see The snowflakes glisten on the tree The sun no longer sets me free I feel there’s no place freezing me Let the winter sun shine on Let me feel the frost of dawn Fill my dreams with flakes of snow Soon I’ll feel the chilling glow Don’t you think I know what I’m doing Don’t tell me that it’s doing me wrong You’re the one who’s really a loser This is where I feel I belong Crystal world with winter flowers Turns my day to frozen hours Lying snowblind in the sun Will my ice age ever come?
Leave your cares behind Come with us and find The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind Chorus: Come along if you care Come along if you dare Take a ride to the land inside of your mind Beyond the seas of thought Beyond the realm of what Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not [repeat chorus] But please realise You'll probably be surprised For it's the land unknown to man Where fantasy is fact So if you can, please understand You might not come back [repeat chorus] How happy life could be If all of mankind Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind Center of the mind (echo: the mind, the mind)

Did you ever have that feeling in your life, that someone was watching you? He don't have no reason, that's right. But, still he's there watching you. Someone is waiting just outside the door, to take you away. Everybody knows just what he's there for, to take you away. But, you don't know why he's been waiting. But, you don't know why he's been waiting. Spent too much time anticipating. Spent too much time anticipating. Did you ever think it could be you, that's just outside the door? There's just one way to find out if it's true. So, what you waiting for? Oh, get yourself together now, my friend, and step outside the pad. If there's no one waiting for you there, my friend, I think you should be glad. But, who wasn't there that you should look out for? But, who wasn't there that you should look out for? Get back inside your wall, and shut the door. Get back inside your wall, and shut the door. You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody, You're better off by yourself.

Can't think of any reason Don't know exactly why Must be it's out of season Give it another try I'm out here in the meadow Part of an old stone wall Stand here because he said so Waitin' around to fall Some things are left unspoken Some things are handme down The circle stands unbroken Sendin' it back around I've seen you roll in clover Dressed for a scarecrow wall Too bad the dance is over Nothin' to show at all Can't help but feel uncertain Knowing which way to turn They want to raise the curtain And you're holdin' the words to learn I'm out here in the meadow Part of an old stone wall Stand here because he said so Waitin' around to fall
Tuesday, afternoon, I'm just beginning to see, Now I'm on my way, It doesn't matter to me, Chasing the clouds away. Something, calls to me, The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a sigh. I'm looking at myself, reflections of my mind, It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind, So gently swaying thru the fairy-land of love, If you'll just come with me and see the beauty of Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday, afternoon, I'm just beginning to see, Now I'm on my way, It doesn't matter to me, Chasing the clouds away. Something, calls to me, The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a sigh.
I been run down, I been lied to, I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool. She took all my money, wrecked my new car. Now she's with one of my goodtime buddies, They're drinkin' in some crosstown bar. Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, Like I been tied to the whipping post, Tied to the whipping post, Tied to the whipping post, Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'. My friends tell me, that I've been such a fool, And I have to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin' you. Drown myself in sorrow, and I look at what you've done. But nothin' seems to change, the bad times stay the same, And I can't run. Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, Like I been tied to the whipping post Tied to the whipping post, Tied to the whipping post, Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'. Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, Like I been tied to the whipping post Tied to the whipping post, Tied to the whipping post, Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.

If you go away then Don't you come back round here no more And if you make the move then Don't expect to come home to an open door I'm not the same person I was a year ago You cut me deeply and the scars still show You've walked between the raindrops for far too long You're gonna get what's yours And if you go away then Don't you come back round here no more I'm not the same person I was a year ago You cut me deeply and the scars still show You make me act like a fool over you and now you drive me away You make me act like a fool over you and now you drive me away You make me act like a fool over you and now you drive me away And now you drive me away.
Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence we must be mistaken But you see it's not me it's not my family In your head, in your head they are fighting Chorus (same chords) With their tanks and their guns and their bombs and their guns In your head, In your head they are crying In your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zombi-e-i-e-e-iWhat's in your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zombi-e-i-e-e-i Another mother's breakin' heart is taking over When the vioence causes silence, we must be mistaken It's the same old theme, since 1916, In your head in your head, they're still fighting Chorus

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin', I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin', I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation, handful of Senators don't pass legislation, and marches alone can't bring integration, when human respect is disintegratin', this whole crazy world is just too frustratin', and you tell me over and over and over again my friend, ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. Think of all the hate there is in Red China! Tehn take a look around to Selma, Alabama!

In the shuffling madess of the locomotive breath, runs the all-time loser, headlong to his death. He feels the piston scraping -- steam breaking on his brow -- old Charlie stole the handle and the train won't stop going -- no way to slow down. He sees his children jumping off at the stations -- one by one. His woman and his best friend -- in bed and having fun. He's crawling down the corridor on his hands and knees -- old Charlie stole the handle and the train won't stop going -- no way to slow down. He hears the silence howling -- catches angels as they fall. And the all-time winner has got him by the balls. He picks up Gideons Bible -- open at page one -- old Charlie stole the handle and the train won't stop going -- no way to slow down.
