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 theres no way that they could have caught it
and time takes his toll on him
it is traditional, it is inherited
predisposition
all day ive been wondering
what is inside of me, who can I blame for it
i say:
it runs in the family
this famine that carries me to such great heights
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 'cause who knows it might
fill me up
my friends depressed shes a wreck, shes a mess
theyve 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
17th 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 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
bad 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 dont get to close to me 'cause you might
knock me up
mary have mercy now look what ive done
but dont blame because
i can know where i come from
and running is something that weve always done well
and mostly i cant even tell what im running from
i run from
the pity
the 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 till im gone
i can run for the office
and run from the cause
i can run using every last ounce of energy
i cannot
i cannot
i cannot
run from my family
theyre hiding inside of me
corpses on ice
come in if you like
but just dont tell my family
theyd never forgive me
theyd say that im crazy
but they would say anything if it would
shut me up.
