Are We Family

it's only human to want to inhabit every feeling you've got

and more often than not, let's take it to the nth degree

here he goes, "give me ten bucks and a head start"

here's where he goes, "the puzzle's pulling apart"

and here's the scene

you're yelling calmly down the street

"are we family?"

or what?

from happy go lucky to surly go crazy, the lot

and more often than not, admission to the battles is free

here he goes, "give you ten bucks and a head start"

here's where he goes, "pulling the puzzle apart"

and here's the scene

where you whisper down the crookedest street

"are we family?"

or what?

are we family when it's only if not when

sisters and brothers, wolf, wolf lover

and the boy who stamped too many ants?

are we family?

it's only human to want to inherit every feeling you've got

and like it or not, let's take it to the nth degree

here we go, "give us ten bucks and a head start"

here's where we go, "the puzzle's pulling apart"

and here's the scene

your horse is going the wrong way up the street

are we family?

or what?

are we family when it's not if but when

taking care of each other, one bullet to another

when it's all, "if a song can't save us then nothing can"

are we family?

or what?

are we family or what?

are we family or what?

are we family or what?

to one another?

the lost to the recovered?

the new caledonian crow to the chimpanzee?

the tribal jury to the pakistani teen?

ill starred evenings to champion mystique?

sick as a writer writing to be lighter than the uncanny

when the invasion of antarctica's complete

are we family?
