Cathy's hailing a cab she's hailing a storm the streets of new york city Once inside, it's a carnival ride That brings a white kind of dizzy
She me up on her rooftop, Framed by a backdrop of and chimneys She's wrapped a cigarette, Lecturing etiquette, while I look in the me
We took in saturday and it was And nighttime came the skyline just swallowed The Cathy lays the blame on alva edison And 60 million telling new york that noon Ah, midnight too soon strikes too soon
She says, "in new york city, throw their Wishes into 'cause you see a star, unless one hit you when It -- " "and if you caught one," I say, "who Could you tell in this whole town who'd Believe "
She like a cat would to a pigeon on the roof She says, "i look into for universal truths" And we in the moment like whiskey hundred "but if orion fell," she said, "i'd you"
The view from her could make your head Just It was like holding up the in a tablespoon And we drank it down,m light in town the sweetest, kindest medicine I made my on a satellite dish But still strikes too soon strikes too soon
Cathy never to slow down She's a working a skyscraper town She at me, says 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 spins beneath me, I ask it for proof I'm living my life in my own way Or will just have it's own say
Midnight too soon Midnight strikes too strikes too soon Midnight too soon
