my friend has problems with winter and autumn
they give him prescriptions they shine bright lights on him
they say its genetic they say he can't help it
they say you can catch it but sometimes you're born with it
my friend has blight he gets shakes in the night
and they say that there's no way that they could have caught it in
time takes its toll on him it traditional
it is inherited predisposition
all day i've been wondering what is inside of me
who can i blame for it i say it runs in the family
this family that carries me to such great lengths
to open my legs up to anyone who'll have me
it runs in the family i come by it honestly
do what you want 'cos who knows it might fill me up
my friend's depressed she's a wreck she's a mess
they've done all sorts of tests and they guess it has something
to do with her grandmother's grandfather's grandmother
civil war soldiers who badly infected her
my friend has maladies rickets and allergies
that she dates back to the seventeenth century
somehow she manages in her misery
strips in the city and shares all her best tricks with
me well im well well i mean im in hell
well i still have my health at least thats what they tell me
if wellness is this what in hells name is sickness
but business is business and business runs in the family
we tend to bruise easily bad in the blood
im telling you 'cos i just want you to know me
know me and my family we're wonderful folks
but don't get too close to me 'cos you might knock me up
mary have mercy now look what i've done
but don't blame me because i can't tell where i come from
and running is something that we've always done well
and mostly i can't even tell what im running from
i run from their pity from responsibility
run from the country and run from the city
i can run from the law i can run from myself
i can run for my life i can run into debt
i can run from it all i can run till im gone
i can run for the office and run from the cause
i can run using every last once of energy
i can not i can not i can not run from
my family they're hiding inside of me corpses on ice
come in if you like but just don't tell my family
they'd never forgive me they'll say that i'm crazy
but they would say anything if it would shut me up
