Lyrics:She Was A Hotel Detective

From This Might Be A Wiki
She Was A Hotel Detective
By: They Might Be Giants
Year: 1994

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

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
