Lyrics

I'd invite you back to my place It's only mine because it holds my suitcase It looks like home to me alright But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night Must I be man in a suitcase Is it me, man with the stranger's face Must I be man in a suitcase Is it me, man with the stranger's face Another key for my collection For security I race for my connection Bird in a flying cage you'll never get to know me well The world's my oyster a hotel room's a prison cell Must I be man in a suitcase Is it me, man with the stranger's face Must I be man in a suitcase Is it me, man with the stranger's face I'd invite you back to my place It's only mine because it holds my suitcase It looks like home to me alright But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night

Alternative and cover versions
Alternative versions
- Man In A Suitcase (demo) features some really different music and some different lyrics - here's the chorus and 2nd verse:
Must I be man in a suitcase Is it me, man with the stranger's face Must I be man in a suitcase Running from the man inside of me Add another key to my collection Take a man for security as I race for my connection Bird in a flying cage, no time to get to know me well World's an oyster buy my hotel room's a prison cell
The demo doesn't feature the repetition of the 1st verse, but adds more choruses, lots of ey-oh-ohs and "running from the man inside of me"
- Man In A Suitcase (live) - released on the UK double single Every Breath You Take and on Message In A Box: The Complete Recordings
