Cathy's hailing a cab like she's a storm Unto the streets of new york Once we're inside, it's a carnival That brings a white knuckle kind of
She me up on her rooftop, Framed by a backdrop of and chimneys wrapped round a cigarette, Lecturing etiquette, while I in the windows me
We took in and it was medicine And when nighttime the skyline just swallowed The Cathy lays the blame on alva edison And 60 lightbulbs telling new york that noon Ah, strikes too soon Midnight too soon
She says, "in new york city, they their into wells 'cause you can't see a star, unless one hit you It -- " "and if you caught one," I say, "who you tell in this whole damn town who'd Believe "
She smiled a cat would to a pigeon on the roof She says, "i into windows for universal truths" And we drank in the moment like hundred "but if orion fell," she said, "i'd you"
The view from her roof could make head spin It was like holding up the in a tablespoon And we drank it down,m every light in the sweetest, kindest medicine I made my wish on a dish But still midnight strikes too Midnight too soon
Cathy never seems to slow 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 for the solace of her roof window tells a story in cold 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 strikes too Midnight too soon Midnight strikes too
