Album: Neon Bible

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Edwin 'win' Butler, William 'will' Butler, Regine Chassagne, Jeremy Gara, Timothy Kingsbury, Richard Parry

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
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, yeah, oh
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don't know where
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
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
