Motel Matches Lyrics - Get Happy!! - Elvis Costello

Somewhere in the distance 

I can hear who shot Sam 

This is my conviction that I am an innocent man 

Oh, 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 pocket book 

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 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 pocket book 

Giving you away like motel matches
