And It Rained All Night (Burial Remix)

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

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

Do I give in to 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 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?

Do I give in to the rhythm, the click, click, clack

I'm too wasted to fight back

Oh, tick, tack, goes the pendulum

On the old grandfather clock

And it rained all night and then

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?

How do I give in to the rhythm, the click, click, clack

I'm too wasted to fight back

Oh, tick, tack, goes the pendulum

On the old grandfather clock
