Grace Cathedral Hill

Grace Cathedral Hill
 All wrapped in bones of setting sun
 All dust and stone and moribund
 I paid 25-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, "53 bucks to buy a brand-new halo"
 Sweet on a green-eyed girl
 All fiery, Irish clip and curl
 All brine and piss and vinegar
 I paid 25 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?
 La, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la-ah
