Keep the Car Running - Intellectual

[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

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, yeah, 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

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
