Runs in the Family Amanda Palmer

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
My friend has blight, he gets shakes in the night
And they say there is no way that they could have caught it in
Time takes its toll on him, it is traditional, it is inherited
Predisposition

[Pre-Chorus 1]
All day I've been wondering what is inside of me
Who can I blame for it?

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 3]
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 prob'ly infected her
