Lady, runnin' down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man

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

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

Lady, runnin' 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
You're gonna sing the words

You're gonna sing the words
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Therе's this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decidеs to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's runnin' from himself
And she's been livin' on the highest shelf

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

Lady, runnin' 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 singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

You're gonna sing the words
You're gonna sing the words
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
