Keep the Car Running

Every night my dream’s the same
Same old city with a different name
And they’re not 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 seem to cross a river so deep
They know my name because I told it to them
But they don’t know where, they don’t know when
It’s coming
When it’s coming
There’s this fear that cuts so deep
I knew its name just before I could sleep
whoa

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
Can’t seem to cross a river so deep
They know my name because I told it to them
But they don’t know where, they don’t know when
It’s coming
When it’s coming

Keep the car running
