[Music from the Baul] Mr. Brightside

Lately, I've been making the effort to be a little more active and sporty. Angelo has gotten us involved in marathons. And since we have a treadmill sitting in our garage/temp house, I thought, what the hey? This song, Mr. Brightside, has been a long-time fave 'o mine. Back in the day when I was desparately trying to distract myself and fight the urge to make another serving of pressed coffee just to go to the 6750 8th floor pantry. Haha. Remember those days, Chae?

Anyway, since running, I've found this song to be perfect for those times when you need to run your fastest.


Mr. Brightside
By The Killers

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 it's 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

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 alibi
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...
