Lyrics:

And it rained all night and washed the filth 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
