The only problem I have with this outstanding thing is that the lyrics you'd assume would rhythm but then don't in the OG song- the "and my stomach is sick, and she's touching his-- CHESSSST" doesn't quite work the same way in this version. Other than that, this is SO GOOD lol

Lyrics: Coming out of my cage And I'm 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 And it's all in my head But she's touching his chest But she’s touching his chest and he takes off her dress and he takes off her dress 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 Coming out of my cage And I'm 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 And it's all in my head But she's touching his chest But she’s touching his chest and he takes off her dress and he takes off her dress 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 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 like this a lot, except one part. You basically removed the joke about “they’re going to bed and my stomach is sick, and it’s all in my head but she’s touching his….” Because the assumed rhyme would be “dick” but instead it goes for “chest”. The way that lyric is broken up in this version loses that subtlety. Otherwise this is absolutely amazing!
