Every night my dream’s the same. <br />Same old city with a different name. <br />Men are coming to take me away. <br />I don’t know why but I know I can’t stay. <br /><br />There’s a weight that’s pressing down. <br />Late at night you can hear the sound. <br />Even the noise you make when you sleep. <br />Can’t swim across a river so deep. <br />They know my name 'cause I told it to them, <br />But they don’t know where And they don’t know <br />When It’s coming, when It’s coming. <br /><br />There’s a fear I keep so deep, <br />Knew its name since before I could speak: <br />Aaaah aaaaaah aaaaah aaaaaah <br />They know my name 'cause I told it to them, <br />But they don’t know where And they don’t know <br />When It’s coming, Oh! when It’s coming <br /><br />Keep the car running <br /><br />If some night I don’t come home, <br />Please don’t think I’ve left you alone. <br />The same place animals go when they die, <br />You can’t climb across a mountain so high. <br />The same city where I go when I sleep, <br />You can’t swim across a river so deep. <br />They know my name 'cause I told it to them, <br />But they don’t know where <br />And they don’t know <br />When It’s coming, Oh! when is it coming? <br /><br />Keep the car running <br />Keep the car running <br />Keep the car running
