The Rolling Stones - Family lyrics
Your rating:
Here`s father, his heart screwed on Yes, here he`s got it I`m sure `Cause he lost his life in an accident Found his heart in the man next door What exactly`s gonna happen When they do transplant the brain Will my borrowed brain still compute the same Or will my daughter suffer so much more Here comes the girl, she`s got her head screwed on But it ain`t screwed on right Her ambition is to be a prostitute But the breaks just weren`t right What exactly`s gonna happen, tell me When her father finds out That his virgin daughter has bordello dreams And that he`s the one she wants to try out Yeah There`s ma, she`s living dangerously It`s a cinch she`ll try it anything twice She thinks she can run right to the whirlpool`s edge And stop herself just in time What exactly`s gonna happen When she finally fizzles out The lovers will just be sucked into To see what the colours of death are all about Here`s the son, has his legs a-screwed on Yeah, they`re screwed on pretty tight But his brain is loose and it ain`t no use He`s already lost the fight What exactly`s gonna happen When he`s finally realized That he can`t play his guitar like E.G. Jim Or write St. Augustine if he tried That`s what happens When a family finds out That they`ve been in orbit now for a thousand years And need a thousand more to climb out
