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
