Music video

The video was directed by Dan Kleinman in 1984 and revolves a magician woman who plays tricks on Jack Hues Nick Feldman, and Darren Costin throughout the video. Feldman's head is apparently turned into the rose from his jacket. Costin is hypnotized by a card. Hues, who has had enough of the woman's tricks violently shakes her while singing the line "what you're doing to me". The video ends with flowers raining down on Hues while Feldman and Costin play their instruments.

gollark: The only source I can find is here (https://alfin2100.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-life-span-of-empires-250-years.html) and this has a dead link to an essay of some kind, and is apparently only aware of about 10 empires.
gollark: That seems like it's got to be a ridiculous overgeneralization of some kind. I'll check.

gollark: I don't think that's how this sort of thing generally works. Generally things have multiple (possible) causes.
gollark: It's an infohazard, not a cognitohazard.
