FGrace Cathedral hill, all wAmrapped in the
bones of a setting sun, all Fdust and stone
and moribund. I paid twentGy-five cents to
light a liG7ttle white candle fFor a New Year's
Day. IAm sat and watched it burn away then
Fturned and weaved through the slow decay.
We were bGoth a little hungry so we wG7ent
to get a hotdog. FDown the Hyde St. Pier, the lighAmt was slight and
dissapeared. The airF, it sunk of fish and beer. WeG heard
a superman trumpet play the NG7ational Anthem.
CHORUS
FAnd the world may bFelong for yAmou, bFut he'll
never beFlong to Amyou. FBut on a motorbikeFm, when
all the city lights Gblind your eyes toG7night, are you
feeling bFetter now? G.......Are you feeliFng be...ttttter..noAmoooww.
Are you feeFling better now? Fm
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?
