And It Rained All Night

And it rained all night and washed the filfth away Down New York airconditioned drains The click click clack of the heavy black trains A million engines in neutral The tick tock tick of a ticking timebomb Fifty feet of concrete underground One little leak becomes a lake Says the tiny voice in my earpiece So I give in to the rhythm The click click clack I'm too wasted to fight back Tick tack goes the pendulum on the old grandfather clock I can see you But I can never reach you And it rained all night and then all day The drops were the size of your hands and face The worms come out to see what's up We pull the cars up from the river It's relentless Invisible Indefatigable Indisputable Undeniable So how come it looks so beautiful How come the moon falls from the sky I can see you But I can never reach you I can see you But I can never reach you
