I was scared of dentist 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

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide

Taken away to the dark side

I wanna be your lefthand 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 a high shelf

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide

Taken away to the dark side

I wanna be your lefthand 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'll ever see, oh

Lady, running down to the riptide

Taken away to the dark side

I wanna be your lefthand 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 lefthand 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
