The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
CHORUS:
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 fitted 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 heading 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
CHORUS
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 with 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 running in the family
Hey hey, we keep on coming in the family
CHORUS
Running in the family...
And we all have our daddy's eyes...
Looking back it's so bizarre...
