Keep the car running

Every night my dream's the same
Same old city with a different name
Men are coming to take me away
I don't know why, but I know I can't stay

There's a weight that's pressing down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can't swim across a river so deep

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know when
It's coming, when it's coming

There's a fear I keep so deep
Knew it name since before I could speak

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When it's coming, oh!
But it's coming

Keep the car running

If some night I don't come home
Please don't think I've left you alone
The same place animals go when they die
You can't climb across a mountain so high

The same city where I go when I sleep
You can't swim across a river so deep

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When it's coming, oh!
When is it coming?

Keep the car running
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
