Level 42 - Running In The Family lyrics
Your rating:
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 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. 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 And 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 (Ooohooohooohooo) Like a drummer plays his drum, like a father, like a son (Ooohooohooohooo) You're gonna have to face the music, oh yeah (Face the music). Hey, hey, we keep it running in the family Hey, hey, we keep on 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 Looking back it's so bizarre, oho, yeah Running in the family (2x). And we all have our daddy's eyes Looking back it's so bizarre, oho, yeah Running in the family.
