Level 42 - Running In The Family (Unplugged)

Our dad would send us to our room
Hed be the voice of doom
He said that we would thank him later
All day, he was solid as a rock
But by eight oclock
Wed 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 couldnt last
Running from the past
From things that we were born to be
Looking back, its 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 daddys eyes
Looking back, its 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 theres me, with Emily and Joe
Daddy driving home
All heading in the same direction
He knew, no matter what the breaks
Wed make the same mistakes
Couldnt take his eyes of Joe and me
Looking back, its 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 daddys eyes
Looking back, its so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
Looking back, its so bizarre
Like a dream within a dream
Were all somewhere in between
Like a drummer plays his drum
Like a father, like a son
And your gonna have to face the music, oh yeah
Face the music
Hey hey, we keep it running in the family
Hey hey, we keep it coming in the family
Looking back, its 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
Cause we all have our daddys eyes
Looking back, its so bizarre, whoa yeah
Running in the family
Running in the family
And we all have our daddys eyes
Looking back, its so bizarre, whoa yeah
Running in the family
Our dad would send us to our room
Hed be the voice of doom
