The Rolling Stones - Family lyrics

Here`s father, his heart screwed on

Yes, here he`s got it I`m sure

`Cause he lost his life in an accident

Found his heart in the man next door

What exactly`s gonna happen

When they do transplant the brain

Will my borrowed brain still compute the same

Or will my daughter suffer so much more

Here comes the girl, she`s got her head screwed on

But it ain`t screwed on right

Her ambition is to be a prostitute

But the breaks just weren`t right

What exactly`s gonna happen, tell me

When her father finds out

That his virgin daughter has bordello dreams

And that he`s the one she wants to try out

Yeah

There`s ma, she`s living dangerously

It`s a cinch she`ll try it anything twice

She thinks she can run right to the whirlpool`s edge

And stop herself just in time

What exactly`s gonna happen

When she finally fizzles out

The lovers will just be sucked into

To see what the colours of death are all about

Here`s the son, has his legs a-screwed on

Yeah, they`re screwed on pretty tight

But his brain is loose and it ain`t no use

He`s already lost the fight

What exactly`s gonna happen

When he`s finally realized

That he can`t play his guitar like E.G. Jim

Or write St. Augustine if he tried

That`s what happens

When a family finds out

That they`ve been in orbit now for a thousand years

And need a thousand more to climb out
