Motel Matches [Live][#][*] Lyrics
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
This is my conviction, that I am an innocent man
Though you say I`m unkind
I`m being as nice as I can
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
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
