It was far across the sea
When the devil got a hold of me
So he kept me soul for ransom
I'm a sailor man from glasgow town
I've roamed the world around and round
He's the meanest thing that I have found
In all me days of wandering
And I could see his evil eyes
Then he took me by surprise
Here we go again we're on the road again
We're on the way to paradise
That's where the lion sleeps
They have no place in paradise
Just as the Sun was going down
I see graffiti on the wall -
Of the celts! Of the celts!
It says we're magic we're magic
It says oh ah up the ra, say ooh ah up the ra
We went thru each jungle deep
For the paradise that we did seek
Twas no trip for the weak
We're waltzing with the natives
From the amazon of borneo
To the darkest jungles of the world
But no where could I lose em
Around in circles everyway
He turned to me and he did say
I think you're leading me astray
Here we go again we're on the road again
We're on the way to paradise
That's where the lion sleeps
They have no place in paradise
Just as the Sun was going down
I see graffiti on the walls -
Of the celts! Of the celts!
Says we're magic we're magic
It says oh ah up the ra, say ooh ah up the ra (repeat 4x)
