Running In The Family (Extended Version)

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 beLooking 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 bizarreDad 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 meLooking 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 bizarreLike a dream within a dream

We're all somewhere in betweenLike a drummer plays his drum

Like a father like a son

And your gonna have to face the musicHey hey

We keep it running in the family

Hey hey

We keep it coming in the familyHey hey

We keep it running in the family

Hey hey

We keep it coming in the familyLooking 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

There's 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 bizarreRunning in the familyRunning in the family

And we all have our daddy's eyes

Looking back it's so bizarre hey
