Riptide Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was scared of dentists and the dark
And 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh-o-oh, and they come unstuck

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh-o-oh, and they come unstuck
[Chorus]
Lady, 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

Oh, oh-o-oh
Oh, oh-o-oh Lady, running down to the riptide
(Oh, oh-o-oh)
Lady, running down to the riptide
(Oh, oh-o-oh)
Lady, running down to the riptide
(Oh, oh-o-oh)
Lady, running down to the riptide
(Oh, oh-o-oh)
Lady, running down to the riptide
(Oh, oh-o-oh)
Lady, running down to the riptide
(Oh, oh-o-oh)
Lady, running down to the riptide
(Oh, oh-o-oh)
Lady, running down to the riptide
(Oh, oh-o-oh)
Lady, running down to the riptide
(Oh, oh-o-oh)
Lady, running down to the riptide
(Oh, oh-o-oh)
[Bridge]
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
And I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen

[Chorus]
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
