Every night my dream’s the same, the 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 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... It’s coming
There’s this fear I keep so deep, knew its name just 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, oh when?
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, you can climb across a mountain so high
The same city where I go when I sleep, can 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?

But it's coming... Keep the car running, keep the car running, keep the car running...
