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 me 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 down, when It's coming. 

There's a fear I keep so deep, 
Knew its name since before I could speak: 
Aaaah aaaaaah aaaaah aaaaaah 
They know my name 'cause I told it to them, 
But the don't know where and 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 
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
