Nigel Godrich - And It Rained All Night lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 the ticking time bomb 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 Oh tick tock goes the pendulum On the old grandfather clock [Hook] I, I can see you But I can never reach you [Verse 2] And it rained all night and then all day The drops are the size of your hands and face The worms come out to see what's up We pull our 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? [Hook] I can see you But I can never reach you
