Tragically Hip - Are We Family lyrics

rate me

It's only human to want to inhabit every feeling you've got

and more often than not let's take it to the Nth degree

here he goes,

'gimmie ten bucks and a head start'

heres where he goes,

'the puzzle's pullin apart'

and here's the scene:

you're yellin calmly down the street,

'are we family'

or what?

From happy-go-lucky to surly-go-crazy the lot

and more often than not admission to the battles is free

here he goes,

'gimmie ten bucks and a head start'

heres where he goes,

pulling the puzzle apart

and here's the scene

where you whisper down the crookedest street

'are we family'

or what?

are we family when its only if not when

sisters brothers wolf wolf lover

and the boy who stamped too many ants?

are we family?

Its only human to want to inherit every feeling you've got

and like it or not let's take it to the Nth degree

here we go,

give us ten bucks and a head start

here's where we go

the puzzle's pulling apart

and here's the scene:

your horse is going the wrong way up the street

are we family?

or what

are we family when its not if but when

taking care of eachother one bullet to another

when its all 'If a song can't save us then nothing can'

are we family?

or what

to one another?

the lost to the recovered?

the new caledonian crow to the chimpanzee?

the tribal jury to the pakistani teen?

ill-starred evenings to champion mystique?

sick as a writer writing to be lighter than the uncanny

when the invasion of Antarctica's complete

are we family?
