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
So how come it looks so beautiful? How come the moon falls from the sky? 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
But I can never reach you
