I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dreams

Uh ooh oh ooh ooh
Oh ooh oh ooh and they come unstuck
Lady, runnin' down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
And I love you when you're singin' that song and
I gotta 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 head to new york city
This cowboy's running from himself
She's been living on the highest shelf

Uh ooh oh ooh ooh
Oh ooh oh ooh and they come unstuck
Lady, runnin' down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
And I love you when you're singin' that song and
I gotta 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, runnin' down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
And I love you when you're singin' that song and
I gotta lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Lady, runnin' down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
And I love you when you're singin' that song and
I gotta lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
I gotta lump in my throat, 'cos you're gonna sing the words wrong
