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 dreams

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ahh-ah-ah
And they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
And 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 story 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

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ahh-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

Oh, I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
Oh, 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

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
And 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

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
And 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
