Looks like this was shot in Austin at that sign guy's place.
When we had movie nights I kept proposing Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! but it never came to pass. Also, The Holy Mountain but no takers. Thought you might appreciate these cult flicks.
The song is about television host Matt Pinfield. Before The Killers were famous, Pinfield, who was a vice president of A&R at Columbia Records at the time, tried to sign the band. He was also working with the U.S. Army as part of a program that mentored wounded and/or PTSD-stricken musician soldiers returning from Iraq. After visiting veteran soldiers in Colorado City, he went to Las Vegas, where he quickly bonded with The Killers. Pinfield watched the band rehearse at drummer Ronnie Vannucci's garage and took them out to dinner. He asked if anybody wanted to give him a ride back to his hotel and Brandon Flowers offered to drive Pinfield. They wound up hitting the bar at the Gold Coast Hotel on a Tuesday night, just "talking about life", Pinfield said:
I started to tell him the story about mentoring soldiers, and I was getting ready to go through a divorce. I was going through a bit of a rough time. So, he went home that night, and their old manager, Braden Merrick, calls me on the phone, and goes, 'Hey Matt, Brandon wrote a song about you. He went home last night and wrote this song.' It was 'All These Things That I've Done,' and the line 'I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier' is about the mentoring thing.
In 2016, Pinfield titled his memoir "All These Things That I've Done: My Insane, Improbable Rock Life". On January 19, 2019, the band gave Pinfield a shoutout while introducing the song at the iHeartRadio ALTer Ego 2019 festival at The Forum in Inglewood, California, where Pinfield was in attendance in a wheelchair still recovering from being hit by a car a month before.
IDK. Sounds like a strong candidate for some modern Laurel Canyon mischief, or mkultra bull shit.
'I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier' is about the mentoring thing.
This video is very definitely a Faster, Pussycat! homage.
And I can't blame anyone for not wanting to watch the shaggy dog joke that is Jodorowski's The Holy Mountain. Beautifully shot, utterly empty (or shallow, if you prefer). His other films are better (and weirder).

Video better than the song.
