Mr. Brightside Lyrics
[The Killers cover]
[Verse 1]
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his
[Pre-Chorus]
Chest now, he takes off her dress now
Let me go
I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
[Chorus]
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside
[Verse 1]
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his
[Pre-Chorus]
Chest now, he takes off her dress now
Let me go
I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
[Chorus]
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside
[Verse 2]
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his
[Pre-Chorus]
Chest now, he takes off her dress now
Let me go
'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
[Chorus]
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside
[Outro]
I never
I never
I never
I never
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his
[Pre-Chorus]
Chest now, he takes off her dress now
Let me go
'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
[Chorus]
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside
[Outro]
I never
I never
I never
I never
