Running In The Family Lyrics - Running In The Family - Level 42

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 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 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 

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 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 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 plays his drum 

Like a father, like a son 

And your gonna have to face the music, oh yeah 

Face the music 

Hey hey, we keep it running in the family 

Hey hey, we keep it coming 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 and Emily 

We only see so far 

'Cause we all have our daddy's eyes 

Looking back, it's so bizarre, whoa yeah 

Running in the family 

Running in the family 

And we all have our daddy's eyes 

Looking back, it's so bizarre, whoa yeah 

Running in the family
