I took the longer way on purpose Lotus wide beside the road Pinwheel umbrellas, lanterns, wind bells Turning where the monkey park glowed Iwaki kept its same old shoulder But the shape had slipped a shade Enough to tell me I was farther Than the road back home had made [Pre-Chorus] And the sky felt loose Like a pocket full of change I laughed like I knew How to turn a bad day strange [Chorus] Omikuji taxi Take me where you want Omikuji taxi I don’t need the map, I want the jump Omikuji taxi Roll me through the mess Omikuji taxi If it’s random, it’s the best [Verse 2] The field held a picture bigger than my plans I stood there, small and glad Didn’t check the time, just checked the mountain Seeing how its outline sat Every detour opened like a window Green and gold, and bells in air I could have gone home on the shorter road The shape said stay, so I stayed there [Pre-Chorus] And the sky felt loose Like a pocket full of change I laughed like I knew How to turn a bad day strange [Chorus] Omikuji taxi Take me where you want Omikuji taxi I don’t need the map, I want the jump Omikuji taxi Roll me through the mess Omikuji taxi If it’s random, it’s the best [Bridge] Maybe the moon was crooked Maybe I was too Maybe every broken detour Was a door I walked into Iwaki changed its outline Same road, same dare, same spark And suddenly the whole dumb world Felt bright inside the dark [Chorus] Omikuji taxi Take me where you want Omikuji taxi I don’t need the map, I want the jump Omikuji taxi Roll me through the mess Omikuji taxi If it’s random, it’s the best ℗ TMelissa Audioworks *This track is protected by Content ID.
