[Verse 1] I bought a mango taxi At a corner by the train Yellow seats, a cracked-up meter Rain on the window pane The driver wore a silver ring And sang with one green eye He said, “If you need to disappear I know a faster sky” [Pre-Chorus] We took the long road Past the laundromat glow My heart was folding Like a paper boat [Chorus] Mango taxi, take me there Mango taxi, take me there Spin me once, then leave me anywhere Mango taxi, take me there [Verse 2] There was a dog in a red bandana Sleeping by the door A paper bag full of peaches Rolling on the floor He took one bite, then laughed out loud Said, “Kid, don’t overthink” We crossed the bridge at midnight And the sky turned pink [Pre-Chorus] We took the long road Past the laundromat glow My heart was folding Like a paper boat [Chorus] Mango taxi, take me there Mango taxi, take me there Spin me once, then leave me anywhere Mango taxi, take me there [Bridge] If I’m lost, let me be In that little yellow seat With the meter ticking slow And the world beneath my feet [Final Chorus] Mango taxi, take me there Mango taxi, take me there Spin me once, then leave me anywhere Mango taxi, take me there Mango taxi, take me there
