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

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh ah-ahh-ah-ah
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
And she's been living
On the highest shelf

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh ah-ahh-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

Ah-ooh
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
