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 I know what I'll do When the light outside changes from red to blue 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 Giving you away like motel matches Giving you away like motel matches Giving you away like motel matches
