Intro: 


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 just before I could speak, yeah
       
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, or 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 see 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
             
Keep the car running

Every night my dream's the same
Same old city with a 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
           
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, 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

It's coming, or where but it's coming  
             
Keep the car running
