Kill the House Lights is a compilation album by New Jersey rock group Thursday. The album includes many unreleased versions of older songs as well as three new songs. It also includes a DVD with a documentary on the band and live performances. The name of the record derives from a lyric from the song "M. Shepard" from the band's 2003 album War All the Time.
Thursday announced they would be filming a live album on December 27, 2006, at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ. They recorded their smaller show at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ the next day.

He tells you that it is time to go, but that you may stay,
If you wish. You reply that it is one and the same to you.

That you remembered you forgot to ask him what form the change would take.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

Under the dock-leaves in the ground,
While lights were paling one by one.”
