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, 
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. 
Your gonna have to face the music, 
O yea, yea, yea. 

Face the music. 

Hey hey, 
We keep it running in the family. 
Hey hey, 
We keep it coming in the family. 
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 backseat of the car, 
With Joseph and Emily, 
We only see so far, 
´Cause we all have our daddy´s eyes. 

Take me back into your arms, 
It´s no longer mystery, 
No cause for alarm. 
Could have never come this far, 
With no sense of history, 
It always leaves a scar, 
And we all have our daddy´s eyes. 

Looking back it´s so bizarre, 
Whoah yeeah, 
Running in the family, 
Running in the family, 
And we all have our daddy´s eyes, 
Looking back it´s so bizarre. 
Running in the family, 
Running in the family, 
Hey hey, 
Running in the family, 
Hey hey, 
Running in the family.
