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

'Gimme 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 ya ten bucks and a headstart'

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 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 headstart

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

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?
