(she Was A) Hotel Detective Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

Nighttime lady 

She says maybe 

In the all-night Laundromat 

Wait one minute 

I have seen her 

She's a billionaire 

She was a hotel detective 

But now she's gotten promoted 

I don't think it was the money 

She didn't care about expensive things 

No furs or pearls or fancy cars or diamond rings

She was a hotel detective 

But now she's better connected 

She didn't have to change anything, just the stencil on her window 

She used to be quite a lady 

She drove the underworld crazy 

But now she goes insane in her way when it suits her occupation 

She read that motel directive 

It told her she was defective 

I guess she found an easier way up the ladder, and she took it 

Now that lady is running the world 

Is she lonely? 

She's the only 

Girl in this back alleyway 

Will she shoot you? 

She won't have to 

You're already dead
