- Family song -

my father-in-law they opened his throat
then sewed him up and sent him home to die
he didn't tell his wife, but one day she started crying
and he was dead before the tears could dry

and they say we'll all get together in heaven
and i'll keep your seat warm until you come
and we'll make a little thunder, just like we were younger
and everyone will know we're in love

and young cousin kurt, died in october
just before the band went on tour
he one-two'd the mike and left a little heap of ashes
and that burning smell took a long time to clear

do you remember frank as he sat on the roof
and said "it's time that man learnt to fly"
but he missed the runway, and got hit on the freeway
and we thought it was a pretty good try

we hijacked the hearse that carried the coffin
and into the desert we drove
and we sang jimi hendrix and an ava maria
and lit a fire by the side of the road

they say there's lots of fish in the ocean
they say there's lots of birds in the sky
and i can't wait to hold you, and i can't wait to kiss you
and know that we'll never say goodbye

and they say we'll get together in heaven
and i'll keep your seat warm until you come
and we'll make a little thunder, just like we were younger
and everyone will know we had fun
