Get Up Songtext

Saturday night and you're still hangin' aroundTired of livin' in your one-horse townLike to find a little hole in the groundFor a whileSo you go to the village in your tie-dye jeansAnd you stare at the junkies and the closet queensIt's just like some pornographic magazineAnd you smileCaptain Jack will get you high tonightAnd take you to your special islandCaptain Jack will get you by tonightJust a little push and you'll be smilin'Your sister's gone out. She's on a dateYou just sit at home and masturbateThe phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't waitFor that callSo you stand on the corner in you New English clothesAnd you look so polished from your hair down to your toesBut still your finger's gonna pick your noseAfter allBut Captain Jack will get you high tonightAnd take you to your special islandCaptain Jack will get you by tonightJust a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'La da da, Oh yeah, yeahSo you decide to take a holidayYou got your tape deck and your brand new ChevroletAh but there's no place to go anywayAnd what for...You've got everything, but nothing's coolThey've just found your father in the swimming poolAnd you guess you won't be going back to schoolAnymore...But Captain Jack will get you high tonightAnd take you to your special islandCaptain Jack will get you by tonightJust a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'La da da, Oh yeah, yeahSo you play your albums and you smoke your potAnd you meet your girlfriend in the parking lotOh, but still you're aching for the things you have not gotWhat went wrong...And if you can't understand why your world is so deadAnd why you've got to keep in style and feed your headWell, you're twenty-one and still your mother makes your bedAnd that's too long...But Captain Jack will get you high tonightAnd take you to your special islandCaptain Jack will get you by tonightJust a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonightYeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight
