Thom Yorke - The Eraser

lyrics:


And it rained all night and washed the filth away 
Down New York airconditioned drains 
The click click clack of the heavy black trains 
A million engines in neutral 

The tick tock tick of a ticking timebomb 
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 
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? 

I can see you 
But I can never reach you 

I can see you 
But I can never reach you
