"Vapor lamps in a parking lot
You can’t see when it’s much too far
All that mist in your eyes
Oh, in the night"
That is a reference to the scene in which they are walking back from Scout's school play across the parking lot in the dark and they are followed by Bob Ewell who is trying to kill them in revenge for Atticus implying accusations against him and defending Tom Robinson. He is too afraid to go after Atticus so when he is drunk, he tries for his kids.
"What you're hiding in your back yard
Is turning innocence to apathy
And accusations at another man"
This most likelt refers to Bob Ewell making accusations against Tom Robinson about Rape on his daugther to cover up himself beating her when eh is drunk which he his "Hiding"
"Wont know if your white in the night" for the fact in the garden when he fires the gun
