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 has blight, he gets shakes in the night
And they say that there's no way that
They think he 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 come by it honestly do what you want
'Cause who knows it might fill me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
Me up
Fill me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
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 some 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 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 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 don't get too close to me 'cause you might knock me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
Me up
Knock me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
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
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 'til I'm 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
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'd say that I'm crazy
But they would say anything if it would shut me up
Shut me up, shut me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
Me up
Shut me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
Me up, me up
Me up
