Arcade Fire Keep The Car Running Lyrics

Keep The Car Running Lyrics

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

Keep
the car running
