Putting a Spin on Riptide Songtext
von Egg

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 dreams

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

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I don′t 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-ah-oh
And they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I don′t 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

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
I swear she′s destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I don′t 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


Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I don't 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

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