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
They don? t know when it? s coming, when it's coming
There's this fear I keep so deep
Knew its name since before I could speak, yeah, oh
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don't know where
They don't know when it's coming
Oh when 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
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
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
They don? t know when it? s coming, when it's coming
There's this fear I keep so deep
Knew its name since before I could speak, yeah, oh
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don't know where
They don't know when it's coming
Oh when 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
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
