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

Oh

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 singin' 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 runnin' from himself

And she's been living on the highest shelf

Oh

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 singin' 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 singin' that song and I got a lump in my throat

'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

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 singin' that song and I got a lump in my throat

'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
