Mr. Brightside (Original Demo) Lyrics
[Verse]
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 falling asleep and she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Chest now, he takes off her
Dress now, let me go
I just can't look it's killing me
And 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
[Verse]
I'm coming out of my cage and everything is 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 phoning a cab
While he's having a smoke and 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
I just can't look it's killing me
And 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
[Outro]
I never
I never
I never

“I remember making the demo, and I was naive to everything.

It was way farther down th...
