Next of Kin
When I look into the fiery eyes
Of a girl next of kin
I think I see a part of myself
I think her dreaming
Is an awful lot like mine
Except her head was screwed on better
But that's just the way it goes
You take off and you go
And forget that you were far from home
Till you show up alone
And you find
That your sister's up and grown
So when I look into the hungry eyes
Of the boys next of kin
It feeds my fire
To make something of myself
But broken furniture
And hearts and bones and brains
Remind me anger
Is not worth the pain
But that's just the way it goes
You take off and you go
And forget that you were far from home
Till you show up again
And you find
That you brothers both are men
And now I wonder
Who's looking up to who
Cause on nights like tonight
I think of where I've been
And I find
I need my next of kin
Yes I find
I need my next of kin
Of a girl next of kin
I think I see a part of myself
I think her dreaming
Is an awful lot like mine
Except her head was screwed on better
But that's just the way it goes
You take off and you go
And forget that you were far from home
Till you show up alone
And you find
That your sister's up and grown
So when I look into the hungry eyes
Of the boys next of kin
It feeds my fire
To make something of myself
But broken furniture
And hearts and bones and brains
Remind me anger
Is not worth the pain
But that's just the way it goes
You take off and you go
And forget that you were far from home
Till you show up again
And you find
That you brothers both are men
And now I wonder
Who's looking up to who
Cause on nights like tonight
I think of where I've been
And I find
I need my next of kin
Yes I find
I need my next of kin
