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
