Cathy's hailing a cab she's hailing a storm Unto the streets of new york Once we're inside, it's a 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, while I look in the me
We took in and it was medicine And when nighttime the skyline just swallowed The Cathy lays the on thomas alva edison And 60 lightbulbs telling new york that noon Ah, strikes too soon Midnight too soon
She says, "in new york city, they throw Wishes wells you can't see a star, unless one hit you when It -- " "and if even you 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 windows for universal truths" And we in the moment like whiskey hundred "but if fell," she said, "i'd tell 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 light in town Like the sweetest, kindest I made my wish on a dish But still midnight strikes too Midnight too soon
Cathy never seems to slow She's a hurricane working a skyscraper She laughs at me, I'm suburban bound But the is I live on a highway
I to this city for the solace of her roof Every tells a story in cold hard truth As the world spins me, I ask it for proof That I'm my life in my own way Or will time have it's own say
strikes too soon Midnight strikes too Midnight too soon strikes too soon
