The Killers - Mr. Brightside (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]

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

And I just can't look; it's killing me

They're 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


[Instrumental Bridge]


[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

They're 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


[Instrumental Bridge]


[Outro]

I never...

I never...

I never...

I never...
