Death Cab For Cutie - Little Bribes Lyrics
The Eiffel tower built to smaller scale
The freshest oxygen I'd ever inhale
I tapped a bottle against a safety rail, killing time
And you were like a walking compliment
In dummy glasses and a cardigan
Oh, come on
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers And the waitresses around
You said that all these things you've learned to ignore
The hidden cameras on the casino floor
And what gets paid for behind hotel doors
Oh, come on
The people stare into their eyes and they feed them little bribes and then they go
The never-ending twilight
In a basement where the sun has never spilt
You said that you were lonely
And then we kissed like lonely people do
You said the city has a beating heart
That pushes people down the boulevard
And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled
In a desert for a dollar bill
Those foolish dreams, you know they plague me still
Oh, come on
And oh so empty were the faces
Of the dealers and the waitresses around [X2]
They're empty

Death Cab For Cutie Little Bribes Comments
The music is brisk and clever, the lyrics delightful and ever-moving; playing and singing this song is a whole lot of fun. The video is like the song - there's never a stop to the action.
First time listening to this band really happy I found out about them
Kidbehindacamera brought me here 😂😂
great concept, great execution.....has nothing to do with the actual song, the actual lyrics, the purpose of this piece of art....
this song is fucking awesome
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yup, no judgement/ no shade. He's sobbing about a prostitute
This music video is SOOOOOO underrated!!! These visuals are amazing!!!
Does anyone know when DCFC is Touring?!? I really want to see them!! I hope it's in the south east USA area. (Florida) :)
They will Tour soon ;) cant weit to See Turm in Germany again :)
They are touring this summer!
Tomorrow in St. Augustine, FL with CHVRCHES
DCFC and CHVRCHES? That's like my dream show lmao
Still more talented than Wrong Direction
WAY MORE TALENTED is what I think you met to say.
Harry Styles' solo work is amazing now, even though 1D wasn't that great
was there someone making that argument?
or did you just feel like letting everyone know that water is wet, fire is hot, and the sky is blue? :)
terry1919 how is this relevant?
cute video.
I love this song.
you were like a walking compliment, tall in stature and exceptionally red :)
"every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello"
I love Death Cab.
Such a good way to look at the world :)
Great video, great song
Never disappoint with their music videos...and this one is hilarious.
i love all of death cab for cuties songs
Maybe something off Pretty. Odd. - I love that album.
I'm so glad that dcfc's video's are unique, pleasing to the eye, clean and fun without any of today's 'need' for flashing lights and half naked girls in the background. :D Great song
Thats a little redundant don't you think?
I dont know of any other band that could describe a casino so poetically.
<3DCFC
Perfect music video is perfect ♥
If there were to be a playlist of the best DCFC songs, it would never end
Did you know "The Lion King" has lions in it? I shat bricks.
i love them, i love this song, but this video makes me nauseous.
LOVE that song and video! ♥
thumbs up if you fried cheese in a pan after watching this
love this song. too bad the rest of their music isn't like this
I love DCFC, and Ross Ching! Win-Win! Great song and vid!

@mang1111 It's on an EP called The Open Door, released in 2009.
of which album is this song?
Going to see these guys in Feb! I'm so excited! I never thought they'd come here! :'D
@EPICGIRL99 if anything, it reminds me a tiny bit of pretty. odd., specifically pas de cheval, but holy SHIT.
death cab is god tier and panic! at the disco is shit tier when compared. that is all.
@EPICGIRL99 No, no it does not.
Does this song remind anyone else of Panic!at the disco ??
