Who is this about? I was programmed to think these songs were about his wives and girlfriends but that never made any sense. Who could maintain that type of intensity about so many? This nightmare, fascinating girl always sounded a lot like me - even Veronica - but I couldn’t understand it since I have never met him.
"Motel Matches" 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
[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
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]
