Cathy's hailing a cab like hailing a storm Unto the streets of new york we're inside, it's a carnival ride That brings a white 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 blame on thomas edison And 60 million lightbulbs telling new york It's Ah, midnight strikes too Midnight strikes too
She says, "in new york city, throw their into wells 'cause you can't see a star, unless one hit you It -- " "and if even you one," I say, "who Could you in this whole damn town who'd Believe "
She smiled like a cat would to a on the roof She says, "i into windows for universal truths" And we drank in the moment like whiskey "but if fell," she said, "i'd tell you"
The view from her could make your head spin It was like holding up the world in a And we it down,m every light in town the sweetest, kindest medicine I made my wish on a dish But still midnight too soon strikes too soon
Cathy seems to slow down a hurricane working a skyscraper town She laughs at me, says I'm bound But the is I live on a highway
I come to city for the solace of her roof Every window tells a story in cold truth As the spins beneath me, I ask it for proof That I'm living my in my own way Or will just have it's own say
strikes too soon strikes too soon Midnight strikes too Midnight strikes too
