Lyrics

Grace Cathedral Hill All wrapped in bones of setting sun All dust and stone and moribund Pay twenty-five cents to light a little white candle For New Year's Day I sat and watched it burn away Spin, turn and weave through slow decay We were both a little hungry So we went to get a hot dog Down the High Street Pier The light was sliding, disappeared The air, it stunk of fish and beer Heard a Superman trumpet play the national anthem And the world may belong 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 brim with tears The pilgrims, pills and tourists here I saved fifty-three bucks to buy a brand new halo Sweet on a green-eyed girl All fiery Irish, clipped and curled All brine and piss and vinegar Pay twenty-five cents to light a little white candle And the world may belong 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? Are you feeling better now? Are you feeling better now?
