ellis paul - Midnight Strikes Too Soon слова песни
Cathys hailing a cab like shes hailing a stormUnto the streets of new york cityOnce were inside, its a carnival rideThat brings a white knuckle kind of dizzyShe takes me up on her rooftop,Framed by a backdrop of watertanks and chimneysShes wrapped round a cigarette,Lecturing etiquette, while I look in the windowsBeneath meWe took in saturday and it was medicineAnd when nighttime came the skyline just swallowedThe moonCathy lays the blame on thomas alva edisonAnd 60 million lightbulbs telling new york thatIts noonAh, midnight strikes too soonMidnight strikes too soonShe says, "in new york city, they throw theirWishes into wellscause you cant see a star, unless one hit you whenIt fell -- ""and if even you caught one," I say, "whoCould you tell in this whole damn town whodBelieve you? "She smiled like a cat would to a pigeon on the roofShe says, "i look into windows for universal truths"And we drank in the moment like whiskey hundredProof"but if orion fell," she said, "id tell you"The view from her roof could make your headJust spinIt was like holding up the world in a tablespoonAnd we drank it down,m every light in townLike the sweetest, kindest medicineI made my wish on a satellite dishBut still midnight strikes too soonMidnight strikes too soonCathy never seems to slow downShes a hurricane working a skyscraper townShe laughs at me, says Im suburban boundBut the truth is I live on a highwayI come to this city for the solace of her roofEvery window tells a story in cold hard truthAs the world spins beneath me, I ask it for proofThat Im living my life in my own wayOr will time just have its own sayMidnight strikes too soonMidnight strikes too soonMidnight strikes too soonMidnight strikes too soon
