Family Business lyrics
Song information
Artist: Fish Album: Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors
Lyrics
I heard a battle raging on the other side of the wall I buried my head in a pillow and tried to ignore it all Every night when I hear you I dream of breaking down your door An avenging knight in shining armour, to rescue you from it all
From this family business, family business How long does it stay, family business It's nobody's business, this family business But tell me how long it remains family business
When I see you at the supermarket, sunglasses in the shade Averting your eyes from those staring questions, how were those bruises made? The children clutch tight to your legs, they've got so much they want to say But daddy's sitting home, drunk again so they bite their lips and pray Cos daddy don't like people poking in his private affairs And if anyone asks from the social, well, you tripped and fell down the stairs
It's family business, keep it in the family business Can you tell me how long it remains family business? It's nobody's business, this family business But tell me how long it should stay family business
She's waiting at the bus stop at the bottom of the hill She know's she'll never catch it, she knows she never will The kids are all she lives for, she's got nothing left to lose Nowhere to escape to, but she knows she's got to move Cos when daddy tucks the kids in, it's taking longer every night
It's family business, keep it in the family business Can you tell me how long it reamins family business? It's nobody's business, this family business But tell me how long it should stay family business
So I become an accessory and I don't have an alibi To the victim on my doorstep the only way I can justify
It's family business, family business How long do we keep it family business?
