Fourteen hours a day, fourteen days in two weeks
A fortnight out to sea, I'm far from home, alright by me
Off the coast of Japan, then the Ivory Keys
I put my back into my distancing the distant seas
I'll sail away, I'll sail away forever and forever
Hoist the jig, skip the rope, do whatever you do
To get me into the blue
Alright by me
Hey mamasita, ain't it great?
Ain't it wonderful?
Hey mamasita, ain't it great
When you're worlds away?
Getting further away, putting distance between
Myself and all the shelves of smarmy, charmy human creeps
Interruptions are gone, lost in a reverie
Nothing but wind, waves, and inspiration for my peeps
I'll sail away, I'll sail away forever and forever
Hoist the jig, skip the rope, do whatever you do
To get me into the blue
Alright by me
Hey mamasita, ain't it great?
Ain't it wonderful?
Hey mamasita, ain't it great
When you're worlds away?
Now I am guided by the stars
And by the red sun
I go where I want
For good or ill
Please winds blow whither you will
