Verse

Chorus

Grace Cathedral hill, all wrapped in the

 bones of a 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 the slow decay.

 We were both a little hungry so we went

 to get a hotdog. Down the Hyde St. Pier, the light was slight and

 dissapeared. The air, it sunk of fish and beer. We heard

 a superman trumpet play the National Anthem.

Chorus

And the world may belong for you, but he'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 be...ttttter..nooooww.

 Are you feeling better now?

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?
