Grace Cathedral Hill Lyrics

Grace Cathedral hill
All wrapped in bones of 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 slow decay
We were both a little hungry
So we went to get hot dog

Down to 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'll never belong to you
But on a motorbike
When all the city lights
Blind your eyes tonight
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
Will sink fifty-three 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 twenty-five cents to light
A little white candle

And the world may be long for you
But'll never belong to you
But on a motorbike
When all the city lights
Blind your eyes tonight
Are you feeling better now?

Grace Cathedral hill  
All wrapped in bones of 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 slow decay  
We were both a little hungry  
So we went to get hot dog  
  
Down to 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'll never belong to you  
But on a motorbike  
When all the city lights  
Blind your eyes tonight  
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  
Will sink fifty-three 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 twenty-five cents to light  
A little white candle  
  
And the world may be long for you  
But'll never belong to you  
But on a motorbike  
When all the city lights  
Blind your eyes tonight  
Are you feeling better now?
