SINGER: Level 42

SONG:Running In The Family

Our dad,
Would send us to our room
He'd be the voice of doom
He said that we would thank him later
All da,
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 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 an Emily
We only see so far
- And we all have our daddys' 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 headin in the same direction
He knew,
No matter what the breaks
We'd make the same mistakes
Couldn't take his eyes off Joe and me

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 an Emily
We only see so far
- And we all have our daddys' 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 with his drum
Like a father like a son
- You're gonna have to face the music
- Face the music

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

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 an Emily
- 'Cause we all have our daddy's eyes
Take me back into our arms
It's no longer a mystery
No cause for alarm
Could have never come this far
With no sense of history
It always leves a scare
- And we all have our daddys' eyes
Lookin back it's so bizarre

Running in the family

Hey, hey!
