Cathy's a cab like she's hailing a storm Unto the streets of new city Once we're inside, a carnival ride That a white knuckle kind of dizzy
She me up on her rooftop, by a backdrop of watertanks and chimneys She's round a cigarette, Lecturing etiquette, I look in the windows me
We took in saturday and it was And nighttime came the skyline just swallowed The lays the blame on thomas alva edison And 60 million lightbulbs new york that noon Ah, strikes too soon Midnight strikes too
She says, "in new city, they throw their Wishes into 'cause you see a star, unless one hit you when It -- " "and if even you one," I say, "who Could you tell in this damn town who'd Believe "
She like a cat would to a pigeon on the roof She says, "i look into windows for truths" And we drank in the moment whiskey hundred "but if orion fell," she said, "i'd you"
The view from her roof could your head Just It was like up the world in a tablespoon And we drank it down,m every light in Like the sweetest, kindest I my wish on a satellite dish But midnight strikes too soon Midnight strikes too
Cathy never to slow down She's a hurricane working a skyscraper She laughs at me, says I'm suburban But the truth is I live on a
I come to this city for the of her roof Every window tells a in cold hard truth As the world spins beneath me, I ask it for I'm living my life in my own way Or will time just it's own say
Midnight too soon strikes too soon Midnight strikes too Midnight strikes too
