Amanda Palmer - Runs in the family

Tekst :

My friend has problems with winter and autumn they give him prescriptions they shine bright lights on him
They say it s genetic, they say he can t help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you re born with it.
My friend despite he gets shakes in the night and they say that there s no way that they could have caught it in
Time takes his toll on him it is traditional, it is inherited predispositional
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 came by it honestly do what you want cause 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 grandmother s grandmother civil war soldiers who probably infected her

My friend has maladies (something?) and allergies that she dates back to the 17th century
Somehow she manages, in her misery strips in the city and shows all her best tricks
I mean well I m well well I mean I m in hell well I still have my health at least that s 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 mad in the blood I m telling you cause I just want you to know me - know me and my family we re wonderful folks, but don t get too close to me cause you might knock me up

Mary have mercy now look what I ve done but don t blame me because I can t help where I come from and
Running is something that we ve always done well and mostly I can t even tell what I m running from
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 from my life I can run into debt
I can run from it all I can run til I m gone I can run for the office and run for my cause
I can run using every last ounce of energy
I cannot, I cannot, I cannot

Run from my family they re hiding inside of me (Don t change my life) help me if you might but just don t tell
My family they d never forgive me they d say that I m crazy but they would say anything if it would
Shut me up
Shut me up
Shut me up

Shut me up

    Something there

    Am I a hopeless case?
    You keep saying the same things
    But is it on my face?
    That it isn t sinking in
    Like a homeless man tapping on a car window
    I feel so disconnected but so in need to hear this
    Do You still see:

    Something there, Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Something there, Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Something there,...

    Love is in the air

    When I talk to you my love
    I like it when you understand
    When you want me close to you
    I like to be as close as I can
    Wherever we go together
    This is how I wish it would be
    If I would...

    Gone away

    Do you pray
    In the night
    Can you appreciate the wind
    And I won t care
    I won t fight
    I need you close to sing
    It s the same beginning
    Gone away
    It s the same old, same old song

    Hey

    (I ve Been Feeling Kind Of Lonely)

    Hey I ve been feeling kind of lonely since you left
    Working trough the struggle, the pain within my chest
    But I don t know what it is

    I ve been searching for the remedy
    Give mer something that will cure my wounded heart...
