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 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 when it's coming There's a fear I keep so deep Knew its name since before I could speak, oh-oh-oh-oh 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'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
