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 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 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? ♪ I can see you But I can never reach you ♪ I can see you But I can never reach you
