Lyrics

[00:17.65] Our dad would send us to our room
[00:20.77] He'd be the voice of doom
[00:22.76] He said that we would thank him later
[00:24.89] All day he was solid as a rock
[00:28.45] But by eight o'clock
[00:30.20] We'd be crumbling
[00:31.69]
[00:33.12] One night, my brother Joe and me
[00:35.75] Climbed down the family tree
[00:37.99] That grew outside our bedroom window
[00:40.73] We ran though we knew it couldn't last
[00:43.67] Running from the past
[00:45.54] From things that we were born to be
[00:48.79] Looking back it's so bizarre
[00:50.66] It runs in the family
[00:53.90] All the things we are
[00:56.21] On the back seat of the car
[00:58.34] With Joseph and Emily
[01:01.14] We only see so far
[01:04.58] And we all have our daddy's eyes
[01:07.62] Looking back it's so bizarre
[01:10.12]
[01:27.04] Dad rang the officer in charge
[01:29.97] A man so large
[01:31.90] He barely fit his circumstances
[01:33.89]
[01:34.76] He said, "Two kids out on the street
[01:37.31] Were picked up on the beat
[01:39.44] And in the station"
[01:41.18]
[01:42.18] So there's me with Emily and Joe
[01:45.18] Daddy driving home
[01:47.24] All heading in the same direction
[01:49.28]
[01:49.98] He knew no matter what the breaks
[01:52.72] We'd make the same mistakes
[01:54.83] Couldn't take his eyes of Joe and me
[01:57.96] Looking back it's so bizarre
[01:59.90] It runs in the family
[02:02.89] All the things we are
[02:05.45] On the backseat of the car
[02:07.57] With Joseph and Emily
[02:10.38] We only see so far
[02:13.99] And we all have our daddy's eyes
[02:16.87] Looking back it's so bizarre
[02:19.06] It runs in the family
[02:21.55]
[02:22.11] All the things we are
[02:24.48] Looking back it's so bizarre
[02:27.52] Like a dream within a dream
[02:29.09] We're all somewhere in between
[02:32.58]
[02:35.45] Like a drummer plays his drum
[02:37.07] Like a father like a son
[02:40.19]
[02:43.19] And your gonna have to face the music, oh yeah
[02:48.18] Face the music
[02:51.11]
[02:52.43] Hey hey
[02:55.07] We keep it running in the family
[02:58.57]
[03:00.00] Hey hey
[03:02.44] We keep it coming in the family
[03:06.12]
[03:09.05] Looking back it's so bizarre
[03:11.05] It runs in the family
[03:14.17] All the things we are
[03:16.54] On the backseat of the car
[03:18.72] With Joseph and Emily
[03:21.59] We only see so far
[03:24.93] 'Cause we all have our daddy's eyes
[03:28.11] Looking back it's so bizarre, oh yeah
[03:32.66]
[03:33.41] Running in the family
[03:36.53]
[03:41.15] Running in the family
[03:44.15] And we all have our daddy's eyes
[03:47.33] Looking back it's so bizarre, oh yeah
[03:52.01]
[03:52.69] Running in the family
