| I find it odd that Brandon would say this song is about the band and where they are when it was written before they had any success. | |

| I love this song. But, still unsure what it means in a sense. Like a few of you had said, it seems to be about sex or around that theme, but also, the whole drug thing makes sense, too. | |

| This is my favorite Killers song. It's just so fun to listen to, and Brandon sings it very sexily. I've always thought it was "Get your eyes off of my PRIDE tonight, though." That would make more sense. | |

| I love this song.. but to me the whole drugs meaning doesn't click. I do think it's just about partying and having a good time.. The drug thing has just been added =/ I think you can associate anything to a song if you try hard. | |

| Their album came out March 04' and he proposed in October 04' so probably not. I heard someone say it was about sex though. I could see that. Finding that special someone and sharing that special moment with them. "But I've been waiting this whole night But I've been down across the road or two But now I've found the velvet sun That shines on me and you" | |

| I also thought that the line was "get your eyes off my Pride", and not Bride, as in, someone is checking him out at a party but he doesn't need to "satisfy" anyone tonight. but at the same time, the whole thing that june_star_99 wrote does make sense... | |

| Love. This. Song. Brandon has explained though that this song is about where the band feels they are right now. It's all about being On Top of the world, the industry... everything. Full of confidence, even a little cockiness. Nevertheless, awesome song, full of sex appeal even if it's not about sex :) | |

| okay, i defenitly think this song is the hottest song on the cd. it's really sexy, really upbeat The day is breaking, we're still here Your body's shaking, and it's clear You really need it, so let go And let me beat it, but you know those lines just scream out 'sex' to me. and even if it's not about sex, the whole song is incredible! | |

| Anyone heard the version of this song where they tacked part of Pink Floyd's 'Time' on the end? You should. It's awesome. | |
