and it rained all night and washed the filth away 
down New York air conditioned drains 
the click click clack of the heavy black trains 
a million engines in neutral 

the tick tock tick of the ticking time bomb 
50 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 tock 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
