Riptide

I was scared of dentists and the dark
And I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, and all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dream

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

Lady, I'm 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 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

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

Lady, I'm 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

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
