Mr. Brightside (original demo) Songtext
von The Killers

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
Then 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 chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

I just can′t look, it's killing me
And taking control


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
I'm Mr. Brightside

Coming out of my cage
And everything′s 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

And I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he′s having a smoke
Then 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 chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

I just can′t look, it's killing me
And taking control


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
I'm Mr. Brightside

I never
I never
I never
