The Killers
Mr. Brightside
Stand up every time you listen to one of these
chunks of the song:
I’m COMING out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Because I want it all
Now I'm FALLING asleep
While he’s having a smoke
And my stomach IS sick
Now, let me go
And it's all in my head
‘Cause I just can't look
IT’S KILLING me
Saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Destiny IS CALLING me
I'M Mr. Brightside
But it'S just the price I PAY
I never...

And she's ____________ a cab
While he's __________ a smoke

And taking control

Turning through sick lullabies

Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
