Verse -


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.

Chorus -

                                 
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.

Verse #2 -


There's a fear I keep so deep,
Knew its name since before I could speak
                                        
Oooh   Oooh  Oooh  Ooooh

Chorus -


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 It's coming
                    
Keep the car running

Verse #3 -


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.

Chorus

                                
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
