Riptide

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 dream

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

She's been living on the highest shelf

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 wanna, I just wanna know

Cause 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 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
