You are all right in a way. Marriage is a form of prostitution, and this sing is about a female losing her power in that relationship. Specifically, she talks about being "poisoned against the moon", a refernce to menstratiuon which is often thought of as the source for "female power." How does a woman find her way back into her power after she has lost it? The dancing is the peformance of the marriage, leave the light on to remind the woman of who she was, what her power was, before she got lost in the marriage. But how can the mother leave the light on if she is trapped in a marriage as well? I really like how the image of the car -- which represents the transition to marriage for me -- changes from a green limosine to a black chariot. It looks good at the beginning, but then it changes.
