Every night my dream's the same

Same old city, different name

Men are coming to take me away

Don't know why but i know i can't stay

There's a weight that's pressing down

Late at night i can hear the sound

Even the noise you make when you sleep

Can't see across the 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 get so deep

You knew the sentence 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, or where

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

Can't get across the mountain so high

The same city i go when i sleep

Can't see across the 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, or when

Is it coming?

Keep the car running

Keep the car running

Keep the car running
