Cathy's a cab like she's hailing a storm Unto the of new york city Once inside, it's a carnival ride That brings a white knuckle of dizzy
She me up on her rooftop, Framed by a backdrop of and chimneys She's round a cigarette, etiquette, while I look in the windows me
We took in and it was medicine And when nighttime the skyline just swallowed The Cathy the blame on thomas alva edison And 60 million lightbulbs new york that It's Ah, midnight too soon Midnight too soon
She says, "in new york city, they throw into wells 'cause you see a star, unless one hit you when It -- " "and if you caught one," I say, "who Could you tell in this whole town who'd you? "
She smiled a cat would to a pigeon on the roof She says, "i look into windows for truths" And we drank in the moment whiskey hundred "but if orion fell," she said, "i'd you"
The view from her could make your head spin It was like holding up the world in a And we drank it down,m every light in Like the sweetest, kindest I made my wish on a satellite But midnight strikes too soon Midnight too soon
Cathy never to slow down She's a working a skyscraper town She laughs at me, says I'm suburban But the truth is I on a highway
I come to city for the solace of her roof Every tells a story in cold hard truth As the world spins beneath me, I ask it for I'm living my life in my own way Or will time just it's own say
strikes too soon Midnight too soon Midnight strikes too Midnight strikes too
