Brandon Flowers
Mr. Brightside
[Verse 1: Bradley]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Bradley & James]
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go
I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
[Chorus: All]
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: Bradley, Bradley & James]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Bradley & James]
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go
'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
[Chorus: All]
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
[Outro: Bradley & James]
I never
I never
I never
I never
