GGrace Cathedral hill, all wEmrapped in the
bones of a setting sun, all Cdust and stone
and moribund. I paid twentDy-five cents to
light a liD7ttle white candle fGor a New Year's
Day. IEm sat and watched it burn away then
Cturned and weaved through the slow decay.
We were bDoth a little hungry so we wD7ent
to get a hotdog. GDown the Hyde St. Pier, the lighEmt was slight and
dissapeared. The airC, it sunk of fish and beer. WeD heard
a superman trumpet play the ND7ational Anthem.
CHORUS
CAnd the world may bGelong for yEmou, bCut he'll
never beGlong to Emyou. CBut on a motorbikeCm, when
all the city lights Dblind your eyes toD7night, are you
feeling bCetter now' D.......Are you feeliGng be...ttttter..noEmoooww.
Are you feeCling better now' Cm
VERSE 2
Some way to greet the year: your eyes all
bright and brimmed with tears. The
pilgrims, pills and tourist here all sing
"Fifty three bucks to buy a brand new halo."
I'm sweet on a green-eyed girl, all fiery
Irish clip and curl, all brine and piss and
vinegar. I paid twenty-five vents to light a little white candle.
CHORUS
And the world maybe be long for you, but he'll
never belong to you. But on a motorbike, when
all the city lights blind your eyes, are you
feeling better now'
