Lyrics of Keep the Car Running by Arcade Fire
verse
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
verse
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
chorus
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
verse
There's a fear I keep so deep
Knew its name since before I could speak, yeah
chorus
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
verse
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
chorus
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
Writer(s): William Butler, Win Butler, Regine Chassagne, Jeremy Gara, Tim Kingsbury, Richard R Parry
