[Verse 1] I bought a map from a noodle shop Folded it up in my back pocket It showed a goat in a top hat And a lake full of copper coins I followed crumbs to the bus stop Where a kid sold jokes by the pound He said, "Pick a door, any door" So I picked the one marked round [Pre-Chorus] Now my shoes got dust on them And my luck got a grin If the world goes left again I'm going right on in [Chorus] Roll, roll, paper boat Take me where the wild things go Roll, roll, paper boat I like it better when I don't know (roll, roll) Roll, roll, paper boat Spin me loose, then let me float (hey) Roll, roll, paper boat [Verse 2] At the arcade, a fortune machine Gave me a lemon and a secret The secret said, "Keep your hands full With something strange you can believe in" So I traded a ring for a red balloon And a dime for a one-eyed grin Every weird little turn I took Let another small moon in [Pre-Chorus] Now my shoes got dust on them And my luck got a grin If the world goes left again I'm going right on in [Chorus] Roll, roll, paper boat Take me where the wild things go Roll, roll, paper boat I like it better when I don't know (roll, roll) Roll, roll, paper boat Spin me loose, then let me float (hey) Roll, roll, paper boat [Bridge] Let the map tear Let the numbers fade I was made for the curve Not the straight parade [Final Chorus] Roll, roll, paper boat Take me where the wild things go Roll, roll, paper boat I like it better when I don't know (roll, roll) Roll, roll, paper boat Spin me loose, then let me float (hey, hey) Roll, roll, paper boat
