mr. brightside

this is the lyrics of the killers' mr. brightside. i liked it the first time i heard it. and now, they've got a different version of the video which was so emoish, the vocalist was actually doing some emoting. he also cut his hair, and the leading lady is cute; looks like a doll as my roommate remarked. it's got a Britpoppy sound to it, that's why they made it to no.1 in the UK, but the song's really simple enough, with a bit of, hmmm, heartfelt lyrics. however, i dunno what's the significance of the name mr. brightside. so here:


I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta 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-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

I just can't look its 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
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside
