And it rained all night and washed the filth away
Down New York air-conditioned drains
Oh, the "click-click-clack" of the heavy black trains
A million engines in neutral
Oh, the "tick-tock-tick" of a ticking time bomb
50 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-tock", goes the pendulum
On the old grandfather clock
I, I can see you
ย
But I can never reach you
ย
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 out 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?
ย
I can see you
But I can never reach you
ย
I can see you
But I can never reach you
