"I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier of stars and atmosphere, and watched her disappear?"
Somehow I doubt it's simply kissing her breath away. And the synthesizer background mimics the distant sound of sirens, just like in "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine." This band is clearly fixated on death, jealousy, and murder.
Also, at the very end, you can hear the distant and enraged lyric, "She said she loved me!"
Great song. Surprised it hasn't gotten more comments.
cyrolophosaurus, I feel like we should be friends, because I agree with everything you said!

And, I don't think it's about taking her virginity.

There's something in my head
Somewhere in the back said
We were just a good thing
We were such a good thing
There's something in my head
Somewhere in the back said
We were just a good thing
We were such a good thing
Make it go away without a word
But promise me you'll stay
Fix these things I've hurt
Make it go away without a word
But promise me you'll stay
Fix these things I've hurt
Make's it appear as though the two have previously had a relationship, it went sour, and now he's trying to deal with it, and the only way he feels he can do that is by killing her.
Sorry, one last thing.
She turned her face to speak
But no-one heard her cry
Drive faster, boy
Kinda makes it sound like a kidnapping.
Kay, I'm done. Sorry, I just like talking about soung interpretations Loved that in my Lit. class. :)
midnight show is about the whole murder of Jenny.
in the first song, "leave the bourbon on the shelf," he talks about being jealous because Jenny is fooling around with other men and he's drunk and he's clearly not thinking straight.
this song, i think, is him trying to get a night with Jenny again... but he has already planned her murder.
because of this i think the lyrics are "the crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl"
who has even heard of crashing time???
and because he saying thaaaat, he's saying
"I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier of stars and atmosphere, and watched...

"I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier of stars and atmosphere, and watched her disappear into the midnight show" because that is when he kills her and throws her into the water. the midnight show being the whole murder.
in the next song, Jenny, he is trying to say he didn't do it.
Jessicaroses hit the nail on the head. It's a murder trilogy consisting of, in order, "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf", "Midnight Show", and "Jenny Was A Friend of Mine".

@cyrolophosaurus Lol, I kinda had a moment where I was reading your comment about the band being fixated on death and murder and I was like, “well, yeah, duh, the band is called The Killers”... and I actually stopped and thought about that, because it never really sunk in that THE BAND IS CALLED “THE KILLERS”.

It's not murder, it's him and his girlfriend losing their virginity, simple as that.
