Song title: Keep the car running
by Arcade Fire
Keep the car running - Original
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:
Aaaah aaaaaah aaaaah aaaaaah
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
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
Keep the car running
