Mr. Brightside

by Brandon Flowers

on Classical Versions of Pop Songs (2021)

[Verse 1]
Comin' out of my cage
Doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Want it all
It started out with a kiss
Did it end up like this?
Only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
She's calling a cab
While he's havin' a smoke
She's takin' a drag
And they're goin' to bed
My stomach is sick
It's all in my head

[Pre-Chorus]
She's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
I just can't look
It's killing me
And it's 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
I'm Mr. Brightside tonight

[Bridge]
I never
I never
I never
I never
(Oh I never)

[Chorus]
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies (Oh I never)
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay (Oh I never)
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes (Oh I never)
I'm Mr. Brightside tonight ('Cause I never)

[Verse 2]
Comin' out of my cage
I am doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss

[Outro]
I never
I never
I never
