Cathy's a cab like she's hailing a storm Unto the streets of new york Once we're inside, a carnival ride That a white knuckle kind of dizzy
She me up on her rooftop, Framed by a of watertanks and chimneys She's round a cigarette, Lecturing etiquette, while I look in the me
We took in saturday and it was And when nighttime the skyline just swallowed The Cathy the blame on thomas alva edison And 60 million telling new york that noon Ah, midnight strikes too Midnight too soon
She says, "in new york city, throw their Wishes into you can't see a star, unless one hit you when It -- " "and if you caught one," I say, "who Could you tell in whole damn town who'd you? "
She smiled like a cat would to a on the roof She says, "i look into windows for truths" And we drank in the moment like whiskey "but if fell," she said, "i'd tell you"
The view from her roof could make head spin It was like holding up the world in a And we drank it down,m every in town the sweetest, kindest medicine I made my wish on a dish But still midnight strikes too Midnight too soon
never seems to slow down 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 window tells a story in cold hard truth As the world spins beneath me, I ask it for That I'm living my in my own way Or will time just have own say
Midnight too soon Midnight too soon Midnight too soon Midnight too soon
