And It Rained All Night

And it rained all night and washed the filth away

Down New York airconditioned drains

The click click clack of the heavy black trains

million engines in neutral

The tick tock tick of a ticking timebomb

Fifty feet of concrete underground

One little leak [bad word] 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 [bad word] out to see what's up

We pull the cars up from the river

It's relentless

Invisible

Indefatigable

Indisputable

Undeniable

So [bad word] it looks so beautiful?

 [bad word] 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
