And It Rained All Night Lyrics

And it rained all night
And washed the filth away
Down New York
Air conditioned drains
The click click clack
Of the heavy black trains
A million engines in neutral
The tick tock tick of the 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 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
