G Em
Grace Cathedral hill, all wrapped in the
C
bones of a setting sun, all dust and stone
D
and moribund. I paid twenty-five cents to
D7 G
light a little white candle for a New Year's
Em
Day. I sat and watched it burn away then
C
turned and weaved through the slow decay.
D D7
We were both a little hungry so we went
G Em
to get a hotdog. Down the Hyde St. Pier, the light was slight and
C D
dissapeared. The air, it sunk of fish and beer. We heard
D7
a superman trumpet play the National Anthem.
CHORUS
C G Em C
And the world may belong for you, but he'll
G Em C Cm
never belong to you. But on a motorbike, when
D D7
all the city lights blind your eyes tonight, are you
C D G Em
feeling better now? .......Are you feeling be...ttttter..nooooww.
C Cm
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?
