Cathy's hailing a cab like she's a storm the streets of new york city Once we're inside, it's a carnival That brings a white knuckle kind of
She me up on her rooftop, Framed by a backdrop of watertanks and wrapped round a cigarette, Lecturing etiquette, while I in the windows me
We took in and it was medicine And when came the skyline just swallowed The Cathy lays the on thomas alva edison And 60 million lightbulbs telling new york It's Ah, midnight too soon strikes too soon
She says, "in new york city, they throw Wishes wells 'cause you can't see a star, one hit you when It -- " "and if even you one," I say, "who Could you tell in this whole damn town you? "
She like a cat would to a pigeon on the roof She says, "i look windows 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 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 still midnight too soon Midnight too soon
Cathy never seems to slow She's a hurricane working a town She at me, says I'm suburban bound But the is I live on a highway
I come to city for the solace of her roof Every window tells a story in cold truth As the world spins beneath me, I ask it for That I'm living my in my own way Or will time just it's own say
Midnight strikes too strikes too soon Midnight strikes too Midnight too soon
