Kill the Lights Lyrics
Well I’ve seen you around all those dark corners
Where the shattered glass shines like stars
Where those boys will be girls
And those girls will be for hire
I swear they’re all strung out on those boulevards
She said just give me a chance to explain
She said just give me a chance, give me a chance
You come on over
We’ll make it right
We’ll lay it down
Then we’ll kill the lights
With those curtains drawn
You know that she’s so pretty
From those years of living in her car
In her soul there’s a country
But her body’s a city
Where those freeways aren’t free at all
She said just give me a chance to explain
She said just give me a chance, give me a chance
You come on over
We’ll make it right
We’ll lay it down
Then we’ll kill the lights
You can tell me what to do
You can tell me what to say
You come on over
We’ll make it right
We’ll lay it down
Then we’ll kill the lights
Where the shattered glass shines like stars
Where those boys will be girls
And those girls will be for hire
I swear they’re all strung out on those boulevards
She said just give me a chance, give me a chance
We’ll make it right
We’ll lay it down
Then we’ll kill the lights
You know that she’s so pretty
From those years of living in her car
In her soul there’s a country
But her body’s a city
Where those freeways aren’t free at all
She said just give me a chance, give me a chance
We’ll make it right
We’ll lay it down
Then we’ll kill the lights
You can tell me what to say
We’ll make it right
We’ll lay it down
Then we’ll kill the lights

This was originally called Down the Circus but then they added to it. I think its about prostitutes on the streets and how there is one girl that didnt belong but she didnt have anywhere else to turn, so she began living on the streets (and...in her car) and selling her body. Im not sure how they're going to "make it right" though... sounds like a pretty depressing situation. Anyone see it any other way? Amazing band though, too bad they're not together anymore :(
This song sounds like there is a prostitute but it's really a man
"Where those boys will be girls And those girls will be for hire
and the singer fell in love with him/her but walked in and discovered the truth one day, but when he thinks it over he's like I love this person for who they are not what they are and is like here come over and we can make this right...we can be together... just kill the lights, a sort of sweeping it under the rug solution by pretending it's a woman I suppose
but he loves her so he constantly uses the term her because in his mind its a girl and when he says "In her soul there’s a country But her body’s a city
hes saying shes one of a kind even if everyones already been in/through her/him because countries are unique but cities are everywhere and everyones been in a city ::WINK::
id believe it was a woman he fell in love with and discovered that shes a whore except for the line
"Where those boys will be girls "
