Mr. Brightside (Live On Letterman)

"Mr Brightside"


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 fallin' asleep

And she's callin' a cab

While he's havin' a smoke

And she's takin' 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

Let me go


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

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Turning 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


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 fallin' asleep

And she's callin' a cab

While he's havin' a smoke

And she's takin' 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

Let me go


'Cause I just can't look - it's killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Turning 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


I never...

I never...

I never...

I never...
