Riptide

I was scared of dentists and the dark,

I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations.

All my friends are turning green.

You're the magician's assistant in their dream.

Ooh, oh and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide

Taken away to the dark side

I wanna be your left hand man

I love you

When you're singing that song and

I got a lump in my throat 'cause

You're gonna sing the words wrong

There's this movie that I think you'll like

This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City

This cowboy's running from himself

And she's been living on the highest shelf

Ooh, oh and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide

Taken away to the dark side

I wanna be your left hand man

I love you

When you're singing that song and

I got a lump in my throat 'cause

You're gonna sing the words wrong

I just wanna, I just wanna know

If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay

I just gotta, I just gotta know

I can't have it, I can't have it any other way

I swear she's destined for the screen

Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh

Lady, running down to the riptide

Taken away to the dark side

I wanna be your left hand man

I love you

When you're singing that song and

I got a lump in my throat 'cause

You're gonna sing the words, gonna sing the words

Lady, running down to the riptide

Taken away to the dark side

I wanna be your left hand man

I love you

When you're singing that song and

I got a lump in my throat 'cause

You're gonna sing the words, gonna sing the words

Lady, running down to the riptide

Taken away to the dark side

I wanna be your left hand man

I love you

When you're singing that song and

I got a lump in my throat 'cause

You're gonna sing the words wrong
