Out Go The Lights Lyrics

Cover art for Out Go The Lights lyrics by Spoon

can't say if it's about a boxer from Illinois (who's loved but only because he's not been defeated yet and 1-2 punches Britt Daniel in the head, and therefore....out go the lights) or a girl (who's so beautiful that everyone turns their head and who likes transvestitism and therefore to wear a black wig, which btw is Britt Daniel's, who is blonde.).

My Interpretation

its obviously not about a boxer from illinois, and the "transvestitism" comment is pretty much worthless. thanks for that.

funny that a joker like you doesn't understand when someone's joking.

You know, the boxer from Illinois thing does seem to be a logical explanation..no need for your "obviously" comment. Are you Britt Daniel, or did I miss something?
