Cathy's hailing a cab she's hailing a storm Unto the streets of new york Once inside, it's a carnival ride That brings a white kind of dizzy
She me up on her rooftop, by a backdrop of watertanks and chimneys She's round a cigarette, Lecturing etiquette, while I in the windows me
We in saturday and it was medicine And when nighttime came the skyline just The lays the blame on thomas alva edison And 60 million lightbulbs telling new that noon Ah, midnight strikes too Midnight too soon
She says, "in new city, they throw their Wishes into 'cause you can't see a star, unless one hit you It -- " "and if even you one," I say, "who Could you tell in this whole damn town you? "
She smiled like a cat would to a on the roof She says, "i into windows for universal truths" And we drank in the moment like whiskey "but if orion fell," she said, "i'd you"
The from her roof could make your head Just It was like holding up the in a tablespoon And we drank it down,m every in town Like the sweetest, kindest I my wish on a satellite dish But still midnight strikes too Midnight too soon
Cathy never to slow down She's a hurricane working a town She laughs at me, I'm suburban bound But the truth is I on a highway
I to this city for the solace of her roof Every window a story in cold hard truth As the spins beneath 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 strikes too soon Midnight strikes too Midnight strikes too
