Cathy's hailing a cab she's hailing a storm Unto the streets of new city Once we're inside, a carnival ride That brings a white knuckle of dizzy
She me up on her rooftop, by a backdrop of watertanks and chimneys She's round a cigarette, Lecturing etiquette, while I look in the me
We took in and it was medicine And when nighttime came the skyline swallowed The Cathy the blame on thomas alva edison And 60 lightbulbs telling new york that noon Ah, strikes too soon Midnight strikes too
She says, "in new york city, they throw Wishes wells 'cause you can't see a star, one hit you when It -- " "and if you caught one," I say, "who you tell in this whole damn town who'd Believe "
She smiled like a cat to a pigeon on the roof She says, "i look into windows for truths" And we drank in the moment like 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 in a tablespoon And we drank it down,m light in town the sweetest, kindest medicine I made my wish on a dish But still midnight strikes too Midnight too soon
Cathy never seems to slow She's a hurricane working a town She laughs at me, I'm suburban bound But the truth is I on a highway
I come to this for the solace of her roof Every window tells a story in cold hard As the spins beneath me, I ask it for proof I'm living my life in my own way Or will time just it's own say
Midnight strikes too Midnight strikes too strikes too soon Midnight too soon
