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, uh, uh, uh, 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.

Uh, uh, uh, 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.

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.

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 got a lump in my throat 'cause

you're gonna sing the words wrong.
