Cathy's hailing a cab like hailing a storm Unto the streets of new city Once inside, it's a carnival ride brings a white knuckle kind of dizzy
She me up on her rooftop, Framed by a backdrop of watertanks and She's wrapped a cigarette, etiquette, while I look in the windows me
We took in saturday and it was And when nighttime came the skyline just The lays the blame on thomas alva edison And 60 million lightbulbs telling new york noon Ah, midnight strikes too Midnight too soon
She says, "in new york city, they their 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 damn who'd you? "
She like a cat would to a pigeon on the roof She says, "i look into for universal truths" And we in the moment like whiskey hundred "but if orion fell," she said, "i'd you"
The view from her roof could make head spin It was like holding up the world in a And we it down,m every light in town Like the sweetest, kindest I made my on a satellite dish But still midnight too soon Midnight too soon
Cathy seems to slow down She's a hurricane working a skyscraper She at me, says I'm suburban bound But the truth is I live on a
I come to city for the solace of her roof Every tells a story in cold hard truth As the world spins me, I ask it for proof That I'm my life in my own way Or will time have it's own say
Midnight too soon Midnight too soon strikes too soon Midnight too soon
