Elvis Costello Motel Matches

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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]
