Cathy's hailing a cab she's hailing a storm Unto the streets of new city we're inside, it's a carnival ride That brings a white knuckle of dizzy
She me up on her rooftop, Framed by a backdrop of and chimneys She's wrapped a cigarette, Lecturing etiquette, I look in the windows me
We took in and it was medicine And when nighttime came the just swallowed The lays the blame on thomas alva edison And 60 million telling new york that 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, unless one hit you It -- " "and if even you one," I say, "who you tell in this whole damn town who'd Believe "
She smiled like a cat would to a on the roof She says, "i look into for universal truths" And we drank in the like whiskey hundred "but if fell," she said, "i'd tell you"
The view from her roof make your 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 satellite But still strikes too soon strikes too soon
Cathy never seems to down She's a working a skyscraper 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 tells a story in hard truth As the world spins beneath me, I ask it for I'm living my life in my own way Or will just have it's own say
strikes too soon Midnight too soon Midnight strikes too strikes too soon
