Dived over the garden wall to see what I could see
High up in the party hall - a curiosity
Some told me to run
But I was a goner from the morning she turned on
What have I done?!
I'm getting married to the family tree
Married to the family tree
Married to the family tree
How could this happen to me?
I was walking through walls - flying through space
I had nothing but the world in front of my face
I was moving ahead - now I'm running in place
And getting nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
Six brothers from Illinois are calling out to me
Kitsch mothers are spilling joy for aristocracy
Sweat I can forget
But I'm not a scientist so I can't piss regret
At least not yet
I'm getting married to the family tree
Married to the family tree
Married to the family tree
How could this happen to me?
I was walking through walls - flying through space
I had nothing but the world in front of my face
I was moving ahead - now I'm running in place
And getting nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
Nine cousins with missing brains
They want to know my dreams
Well manicured ball and chains have stuck me on their team
Ten reasonable men couldn't sing my old existence
Back to pitch again
We say amen
I'm getting married to the family tree
Married to the family tree
Married to the family tree
How could this happen to me?
I was walking through walls - flying through space
I had nothing but the world in front of my face
I was moving ahead - now I'm running in place
And getting nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
