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 crumblin'

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

things that we

were born to be

Lookin' 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

lookin' 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

Lookin' 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

and we all have

our Daddy's eyes

lookin' back it's so bizarre

it runs in the family

All the things we are

lookin' 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

You're gonna have

to face the music

Oh Yeah, face the music

Hey, Hey...

we keep it runnin'

in the family

Hey, Hey...

we keep on comin'

in the family

Lookin' 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

Lookin' back it's so bizarre

Woah, Yeah, Yeah

running in the family

Running in the family

and we all have

our Daddy's eyes

looking back it's so bizarre

Woah, Yeah, Yeah

running in the family

Running in the family

and we all have

our Daddy's eyes
