And It Rained All Night

And it rained all night and washed away the filth
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 a ticking time bomb
Fifty feet of concrete undeground
One little leak becomes a leash
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

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
