Cathy's a cab like she's hailing a storm Unto the streets of new city Once we're inside, it's a carnival brings a white knuckle kind of dizzy
She me up on her rooftop, Framed by a of watertanks and chimneys wrapped round a cigarette, Lecturing etiquette, while I in the windows me
We in saturday and it was medicine And when nighttime came the just swallowed The Cathy lays the on thomas 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 into wells 'cause you can't see a star, one hit you when It -- " "and if even you one," I say, "who you tell in this whole 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 like whiskey "but if orion fell," she said, "i'd you"
The view from her roof 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, medicine I my wish on a satellite dish But midnight strikes too soon Midnight strikes too
Cathy never to slow 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 come to this city for the of her roof Every window tells a story in hard truth As the world spins beneath me, I ask it for That I'm my life in my own way Or will just have it's own say
Midnight strikes too Midnight too soon Midnight strikes too Midnight too soon
