Grace Cathedral |
| Grace Cathedral Hill |
| All wrapped in bones of setting sun |
| All dust and stone and moribund |
| I paid twenty-five cents to light a little white candle |
| For a New Year’s Day |
| I sat and watched it burn away |
| Then turned and weaved through slow decay |
| We were both a little hungry so we went to get a hot dog |
| Down the Hyde Street pier |
| The light was slight and disappeared |
| The air, it stunk of fish and beer |
| We heard a Superman trumpet play the national anthem |
| And the world may be long for you |
| But it’ll never belong to you |
| But on a motorbike |
| When all the city lights blind your eyes tonight |
| Are you feeling better now? |
| Are you feeling better now? |
| Are you feeling better now? |
| Some way to greet the year |
| Your eyes all bright and brimmed with tears |
| The pilgrims, pills and tourists 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 cents to light a little white candle |
| And the world may be long for you |
| But it’ll never belong to you |
| But on a motorbike |
| When all the city lights blind your eyes tonight |
| Are you feeling better now? |
| Are you feeling better now? |
| Are you feeling better now? |
