Cathy's hailing a cab like hailing a storm Unto the of new york city Once we're inside, it's a ride That a white knuckle kind of dizzy
She me up on her rooftop, Framed by a of watertanks and chimneys She's wrapped a cigarette, etiquette, while I look in the windows me
We in saturday and it was medicine And when nighttime came the just swallowed The Cathy lays the blame on alva edison And 60 lightbulbs telling new york that It's Ah, midnight strikes too 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 even you one," I say, "who Could you tell in this whole damn town Believe "
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 whiskey hundred "but if fell," she said, "i'd tell you"
The view from her roof could make your Just It was holding up the world in a tablespoon And we drank it down,m every in town Like the sweetest, kindest I made my wish on a satellite But midnight strikes too soon strikes too soon
Cathy never to slow down She's a hurricane a skyscraper town She laughs at me, I'm suburban bound But the truth is I live on a
I come to this 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 living my in my own way Or will time have it's own say
Midnight too soon Midnight too soon strikes too soon Midnight too soon
