8.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
