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
