ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "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

[Chorus:]

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]
