[Intro]
Oh
[Verse 1]
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, yeah
[Verse 2]
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 3]
There's this fear I keep so deep
I knew its name before I could speak, yeah, oh
[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
Or when is it coming
Keep the car running
[Verse 4]
If some night I don't come home
Please don't think I've left you alone
Same old place they go to when they die
Can't climb across a mountain so high
Same old city I go where I 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
Or when is it coming
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
[Outro]
