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
 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, yeah
 ♪
 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
