Your mother finally took all of her money

And put it where her mouth used to be

Turning anybody's ear

About her friends that disappeared

And how she's sailing further out to sea



Your father's spending all of his vacation

Learning foreign names for all his fears

And the spirits he's detected

About the data he's collected [?]

Turned out to be just ringing in his ears

You look like one of them

But you talk like one of us

Everything they're telling you is wrong

You look like one of them

But you talk like one of us

Babe I think you know where you belong



Your sister's always mortally offended

At the mispronunciation of her name

Telling all her newest clients

That the "w" is silent

Before she turns them back the way they came



Your brother sends me all his latest poems

About his secret dreams of learning how to dance

He knows these hands are not for you [?]

Asking when you're coming through

So he can tell his supervisor six months in advance



You look like one of them

But you talk like one of us

Everything they're telling you is wrong

You look like one of them

But you talk like one of us

Babe I think you know where you belong



Your old flame is still counting up his money

In a secret lair he built behind the shelf

When a chance at repetition

Leading out into temptation

I'm pretty sure he knows the way himself



You look like one of them

But you talk like one of us

Everything they're telling you is wrong

You look like one of them

But you talk like one of us

Babe I think you know where you belong
