You were standing with your girlfriends in the street Falling back on forever, I wonder what you came to be I was new in town, the boy with the eager eyes I never was a quitter, oblivious to schoolgirls' lies When I look back on those neon lights The leather seats, the passage rite I feel the heat, I see the light Miss Atomic Bomb Making out, we've got the radio on You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone Racing shadows under moonlight Through the desert on a hot night And for a second there we'd won Yeah, we were innocent and young Cast out of the night, well you've got a foolish heart So you took your place but the fall from grace was the hardest part It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black You should have seen your little face, burnin' for love Holdin' on for your life All that I wanted was a little touch, A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much, no Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time Miss Atomic Bomb Making out we've got the radio on You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone Racing shadows under moonlight We're taking chances on a hot night And for a second there we'd won Yeah we were innocent and young The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear Miss Atomic Bomb, I'm standing here Sweat on my skin And this love that I've cradled Is wearing thin (Miss Atomic Bomb) But I'm standing here and you're too late Your shock-wave whisper has sealed your fate It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back (it's a proving ground) You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack (and you turn it to chance) Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black (on a loser's game) You should have seen your little face, burning for love, (Miss Atomic Bomb) Holdin' on for your life But you can't survive (All that I wanted was a little touch) When you want it all (A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much) There's another side (Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time)
Ok, ex-English teacher here & I can't help this .... A 'Prequel' is the part of a story from BEFORE when it took place - this is set AFTER Mr Brightside - looking back at that time. So it's a 'Sequel' not a prequel :).

I have never loved a song this much at the first hearing
One of the many reasons why I love MAB's live performances is because they allow us to hear the song. Like, UNTIL THE END.
Yees it is !!Wow !
You were standing with your girlfriends in the street
Falling back on forever, I wonder what you came to be
I was new in town, the boy with the eager eyes
I never was a quitter, oblivious to schoolgirls' lies
When I look back on those neon lights
The leather seats, the passage rite
I feel the heat, I see the light
Miss Atomic Bomb
Making out, we've got the radio on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Racing shadows under moonlight
Through the desert on a hot night
And for a second there we'd won
Yeah, we were innocent and young
Cast out of the night, well you've got a foolish heart
So you took your place but the fall from grace was the hardest part
It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back
You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack
Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black
You should have seen your little face, burnin' for love
Holdin' on for your life
All that I wanted was a little touch,
A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much, no
Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time
Miss Atomic Bomb
Making out we've got the radio on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Racing shadows under moonlight
We're taking chances on a hot night
And for a second there we'd won
Yeah we were innocent and young
The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear
But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear
Miss Atomic Bomb, I'm standing here
Sweat on my skin
And this love that I've cradled
Is wearing thin (Miss Atomic Bomb)
But I'm standing here and you're too late
Your shock-wave whisper has sealed your fate
It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back (it's a proving ground)
You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack (and you turn it to chance)
Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black (on a loser's game)
You should have seen your little face, burning for love,
(Miss Atomic Bomb)
Holdin' on for your life
But you can't survive (All that I wanted was a little touch)
When you want it all (A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much)
There's another side (Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time)
how is this not viral? sooo good
Fave Killers song!!
3:51 Mr. Brightside Vibes :)
Turns out that it was written as a prequel to Br. Brightside, even though it was written 10 years later. So the riff makes sense ;-)
You are so spot on! This song is the prequel of Mr Brightside.
I thought it was a sequel to Mr. Brightside
That riff is more of a direct reference than a vibe
