Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The sky is a neighborhood
So keep it down
The heart is a storybook
A star burned out
[Verse 2]
The sky is a neighborhood
Don't make a sound
Lights coming up ahead
Don't look now
[PreChorus]
The sky is a neighborhood
The sky is a neighborhood
Don't look now
[Chorus]
Oh my dear
Heaven is a big band now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down
[Chorus]
Oh my dear
Heaven is a big band now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down
[Verse 3]
Mind is a battlefield
All hope is gone
Trouble to the right and left
Whose side you're on?
[Verse 4]
Thoughts like a minefield
I'm a ticking bomb
Maybe you should watch your step
Don't get lost
[PreChorus]
The sky is a neighborhood
The sky is a neighborhood
Don't get lost
[Chorus]
Oh my dear
Heaven is a big band now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down
[Chorus]
Oh my dear
Heaven is a big band now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down
The sky is a neighborhood
[Bridge]
The heart is a storybook
A star burned out
Something coming up ahead
Don't look now
[Chorus]
Oh my dear
Heaven is a big band now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down
[Chorus]
Oh my dear
Heaven is a big band now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down
[Verse 5]
The sky is a neighborhood
Oh my dear
Heaven is a big band now
Gotta get to sleep somehow (The sky is a neighborhood)
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down
[Outro]
The sky is a neighborhood
