Motel Matches

Somewhere in the distance I can hear "Who Shot Sam?"
Someone's crawling 'round your door
I suspect it is the insect man
Though you say I'm unkind
You'll find
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
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I remember thinking as I was crawling to the door
That I will make my move if I can only jump this chequered floor
And I know that quite soon
You'll see more of me than just a cartoon

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
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

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
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
