Lyric Family

(Jagger/Richards)

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
