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