The pilgrims, pills and tourists here all sing
Are you feeling better now?
Some way to greet the year
And the world may be long for you
Are you feeling better now?
For New Year's Day
"Fifty-three bucks to buy a brand new halo"
To light a little white candle
But on a motorbike
So we went to get a hot dog
But on a motorbike
Are you feeling better now?
Sweet on a green eyed girl, all fiery
When all the city lights blind your eyes tonight
And trumpet play the National Anthem
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I paid twenty-five cents
When all the city lights blind your eyes tonight
Then turned and weaved through slow decay
All dust and stone and moribund
We were both a little hungry
Your eyes all bright and brimmed with tears
Down the Hyde St. Pier
But he'll never belong to you
And the world maybe be long for you
But he'll never belong to you
Are you feeling better now?
We heard a tuba
The air, it stunk of fish and beer
Irish clip and curl, all brine and piss and vinegar
Are you feeling better now?
Are you feeling better now?
The light was slight and disappeared
I paid twenty-five cents to light a little white candle
I sat and watched it burn away
