Our dad

Would send us to our room

Hed be the voice of doom

He said that we would thank him later

All day

He was solid as a rock

But by eight oclock

Wed 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 couldnt last

Running from the past

From things that we were born to be

Looking back its 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 daddys eyes

Looking back its 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 theres me

With emily and joe

Daddy driving home

All heading in the same direction

He knew

No matter what the breaks

Wed make the same mistakes

Couldnt take his eyes of joe and me

Looking back its 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

and we all have our daddys eyes

Looking back its so bizarre

It runs in the family

All the things we are

Looking back its so bizarre

Like a dream within a dream

Were all somewhere in between

Like a drummer plays his drum

Like a father like a son

and your gonna have to face the music

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 coming in the family

Hey hey

We keep it coming in the family

Looking back its 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 daddys eyes

Take me back into your arms

Its no longer a 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 daddys eyes

Looking back its so bizarre

Running in the family

Running in the family

and we all have our daddys eyes

Looking back its so bizarre

Running in the family

Running in the family

Hey hey

Running in the family

Hey hey

Running in the family
