And It Rained All Night lyrics

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

Fifty feet of concrete underground

"One little leak becomes a lake"

Says the tiny voice in my earpiece

So I give into the rhythm, the click click clack

I'm too wasted to fight back

Oh, tick tack goes the pendulum

On the old grandfather clock

I, 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
