Lyrics for Motel Matches

Somewhere in the distance I can hear "Who Shot Sam?" This is my conviction, that I am an innocent man Though you say I'm unkind I'm being as nice as I can Boys everywhere, fumbling with the catches I struck lucky with motel matches Falling for you without a second look Falling out of your open pocketbook Giving you away like motel matches I wake with the siren in an emergency Though your mind is full of love In your eyes there is a vacancy And you know what I'll do When the light outside changes from red to blue Chorus
