The Killers – Mr. Brightside Lyrics

Cover art for Mr. Brightside by The Killers

[Verse] Comin’ out of my cage and I been doin’ 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 fallin’ asleep and she’s callin’ a cab
While he’s havin’ a smoke and she’s takin’ a drag
Now they’re goin’ to bed and my stomach is sick

And it’s all in my head

[Pre-Chorus] But she’s touchin’ his chest now
He takes off her dress now

Let me go
And I just can’t look, it’s killin’ me
And takin’ control

[Chorus] Jealousy, turnin’ saints into the sea
Swimmin’ through sick lullabies
Chokin’ on your alibis

But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is callin’ me

Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
I’m comin’ out of my cage and I’ve been doin’ 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 fallin’ asleep and she’s callin’ a cab
While he’s havin’ a smoke and she’s takin’ a drag
Now they’re goin’ to bed and my stomach is sick

And it’s all in my head

[Pre-Chorus] But she’s touchin’ his chest now
He takes off her dress now

Let me go
‘Cause I just can’t look, it’s killin’ me
And takin’ control

[Chorus] Jealousy, turnin’ saints into the sea
Swimmin’ through sick lullabies
Chokin’ on your alibis

But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is callin’ me

Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside
[Guitar Solo]

[Outro] I never
I never
I never
I never
