Grace Cathedral Hill, all wrapped in bones of a setting sun
C
All dust and stone and moribund
D D7
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
C G Em C
And the world may be long for you
But he'll never belong to you
C Cm
But on a motorbike, when all the city lights
D D7
Blind your eyes tonight
C
Are you feeling better now
D G Em
Are you feeling better now
C Cm
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~Rll
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 pay 25 cents to light a little white candle
And the world may be long 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 better now
Are you feeling better now
G Em C Cm (x2) G
