Karaoké 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 and daddy's 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

You're gonna have to face the music

Oh yeah yeah yeah

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 back seat of the car with Joseph and Emily we only see so far

'Cos we all have our daddy's eyes

Take me back into your arms it's 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 daddy's eyes

Looking back it's so bizarre oh oh yeah yeah running in the family

Running in the family and we all have

Our daddy's eyes looking back it's so bizarre

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey
