High on the bell tower
I took my view
Over the downtown
To the avenues
Where the streets are wide
And the people thrive
And it's further to fall down
'Cause you fly so high
I've never seen such beauty
I've never seen such clear skies
I've never seen such high hopes
I've never seen such tired eyes
And I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Down in the delta
The city wakes
Turns on the TV
As the levy breaks
Where the streets are burnt
By the summer sun
And there's nowhere to run to
When your time has come
I've never seen such beauty
I've never seen such clear skies
I've never seen such high hopes
I've never seen such tired eyes
[Incomprehensible] up piece by piece
Felt life watching over me
Took my pills and I went to sleep
Oh, and I sang myself to sleep
And I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are, oh
And I wish that I could see
The world the way you do
As selfishly as you
Yeah, and I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are
And I wish that I could stay
My faith the way you do
As certainly as you
Clear skies gonna fall on you
Clear skies gonna fall on you
Clear skies gonna fall on you
On you, on you
Clear skies gonna fall on you
Clear skies

Keane is the best band!!!

Beautiful song about the band's backhanded feelings for America. I love these bands that tell us how rotten we are while caching our checks. This is not as bad as many, but... we all have "tired eyes" from working to make the coin to buy your records while also funding the UN and IMF practically singlehandedly. You're welcome. Still, Keane is really great. Thanks for your music.
