Running In The Family Lyrics


    Our dad
    Would send us to our room
    He'd be the voice of doom
    He said that we would thank him later
    All day
    He was solid as a rock
    But by eight o'clock
    We'd be crumbling
    One night
    My brother joe and me
    Climbed down the family tree
    That grew outside our bedroom window
    We ran
    Though we knew it couldn't last
    Running from the past
    From things that we were born to be

    Looking back it's so bizarre
    It runs in the family
    All the things we are
    On the back seat of the car
    With joseph and emily
    We only see so far
    - and we all have our daddy's eyes
    Looking back it's so bizarre

    Dad rang
    The officer in charge
    A man so large
    He barely fit his circumstances
    He said
    Two kids out on the street
    Were picked up on the beat
    And in the station
    So there's me
    With emily and joe
    Daddy driving home
    All heading in the same direction
    He knew
    No matter what the breaks
    We'd make the same mistakes
    Couldn't take his eyes of joe and me

    Looking back it's so bizarre
    It runs in the family
    All the things we are
    On the backseat of the car
    With joseph and emily
    We only see so far
    - and we all have our daddy's eyes
    Looking back it's so bizarre
    It runs in the family
    All the things we are
    Looking back it's so bizarre

    Like a dream within a dream
    We're all somewhere in between

    Like a drummer plays his drum
    Like a father like a son
    - and your gonna have to face the music
    - face the music

    Hey hey
    We keep it running in the family
    Hey hey
    We keep it coming in the family

    Looking back it's so bizarre
    It runs in the family
    All the things we are
    On the backseat of the car
    With joseph and emily
    We only see so far
    - 'cause we all have our daddy's eyes
    Take me back into your arms
    It's no longer a mystery
    No cause for alarm
    Could have never come this far
    With no sense of history
    It always leaves a scar
    - and we all have our daddy's eyes
    Looking back it's so bizarre

    Running in the family

    Hey, hey!
