Music video

The music video features Lou Reed and was released on the 29 October, 2007 in the UK.

The video features Brandon wandering around an empty house. Somewhere in the house is Lou Reed, sitting at a piano. Brandon sings the song, including Reed's parts, making it look like he has been possessed. Intercut with this are shots of the Killers in a darkly lit, red room, around a table, apparently performing a seance. The video ends with Brandon finding and pointing at Reed, singing his outro.
