Some songs you fall in love with the moment you hear it. This was one of 'em.
The killers - a non-ambiguous band with very ambiguous and catchy lyrics.
Initially, the lyrics seem to just stretch out and contain as much direction as a
schizophrenic lemming with a blindfold, but with a tad more introspection they
seem to unveil a deeper meaning - in fact a deeper more poignant cry.
Hell - the lyrics and the melody are just plain awesome!
I did my best to notice 
When the call came down the line
 Up to the platform of surrender
 I was brought but I was kind 
 And sometimes I get nervous
 When I see an open door
 Close your eyes, clear your heart
 Cut the cord  
Are we human or are we dancer?
 My sign is vital, my hands are cold
 And I'm on my knees looking for the answer 
Are we human or are we dancer?  
Pay my respects to grace and virtue
 Send my condolences to good 
Hear my regards to soul and romance 
They always did the best they could 
 And so long to devotion 
It taught me everything I know
 Wave goodbye, wish me well  You've gotta let me go 
Are we human or are we dancer?
 My sign is vital, my hands are cold
 And I'm on my knees looking for the answer 
Are we human or are we dancer? 
Will your system be alright
 When you dream of home tonight
 There is no message we're receiving 
Let me know, is your heart still beating?  
Are we human or are we dancer? 
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
 And I'm on my knees looking for the answer 
Are we human or are we dancer? 
 You've gotta let me know  
Are we human or are we dancer?
 My sign is vital, my hands are cold 
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
 Are we human or are we dancer?
