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.
