Lyrics:

The sky is a neighborhood
So keep it down
The heart is a storybook
A star burned out

The sky is a neighborhood
Don't make a sound
Lights coming up ahead
Don't look now

The sky is a neighborhood
The sky is a neighborhood
Don't look now

Oh my dear
Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down

Oh my dear
Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down

Mind is a battlefield
All hope is gone
Trouble to the right and left
Whose side you're on?

Thoughts like a minefield
I'm a ticking bomb
Maybe you should watch your step
Don't get lost

The sky is a neighborhood
The sky is a neighborhood
Don't get lost

Oh my dear
Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down

Oh my dear
Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down

The sky is a neighborhood

The heart is a storybook
A star burned out
Something coming up ahead
Don't look now

Oh my dear
Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down

Oh my dear
Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down

(The sky is a neighborhood)
Oh my dear
Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
(The sky is a neighborhood)
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down

The sky is a neighborhood

Interpretation:

The sky is a neighborhood
So keep it down
The heart is a storybook
A star burned out

The sky is a neighborhood
Don't make a sound
Lights coming up ahead
Don't look now

The universe does not belong just to us, there are uncountable number of alien races
who might be watching us. Watching us and our hearts from the begining of time.
Judging us , seeking the maturity in us. Earthlings need to sort all the differences
between them and come through as one race. We may be running out of time, so we need
to get our act together.

The sky is a neighborhood
The sky is a neighborhood
Don't look now

Oh my dear
Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down

Thinking we are the only ones in the universe and our actions have no consequences
is wrong, we are knocking on the gates of a very powerful neighborhood, who may not
reply in kind, considering our world history and our hearts.

Oh my dear
Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling
Bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down

Mind is a battlefield
All hope is gone
Trouble to the right and left
Whose side you're on?

Thoughts like a minefield
I'm a ticking bomb
Maybe you should watch your step
Don't get lost

There are people who want to make this world a better place, people who have tried
and failed. Some of them are immune to the things going on around them. Most of them
are conflicted between right and wrong. They try to find a middle ground or be neutral
which only benefits the oppressor. All things which are done have consequences. Sticking
to our consciousness is essential, else we ll be sucked into the blackhole of our
human desires.

we are being watched, we are the dominant species of this planet. Its time we act like it.
We may need to prove our worth as a species for aliens to contact us.
