Arcade Fire - Keep The Car Running lyrics

Every night my dream's the same

Same old city with a different name

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 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 this fear I keep so deep

Knew its name since 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 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 that I must go when they die

You can't climb across a mountain so high

The same city where I go when I 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 or when

Is it's coming? Keep the car running

Keep the car running

Keep the car running
