Keeps Me Running

More legal stuff - and what I'm listening to while working on it.

Read, absorb, ponder, question, write, take a break…double-click the song (again) in my iTunes folder…

As for interpreting the lyrics? I take from them what I want – a desire for escape, gotta get out of here, gotta get this over with…

It’s the beat that keeps me pumped - has me be-boppin’ around the room during my breaks.

Thank God for music.

And for my dancing skills. ;)

One must strive to offset the serious with the silly.

If you give it a listen, play it loudly! I do.



Keep the Car Running - Arcade Fire

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
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
