I just noticed a couple of the mistakes in this one.
Here are the right parts, according to Keane's new digital lyric booklet (it's a neat little thing):
High on the bell tower I took my view
Over the downtowns and the avenues
Where the streets are wide and the people thrive
And it's further to fall down because you fly so high
I've never seen such beauty
I've never seen such clear skies
I've never seen 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 levee breaks
Where the streets are burned 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 high hopes
I've never seen such tired eyes
Pulled the roots up piece by piece
Felt life washing over me
I took my pills and went to sleep
Oh, I sang myself to sleep
And I wish that I could be
Everything you are, everything you are
And I wish that I could see
The world the way you do, as selfishly as you
And I wish that I could be
Everything you are, everything you are
And I wish that I could state
My faith the way you do, as certainly as you
