Dessa - Talking Business lyrics
[Dessa - Talking Business lyrics]
Number on a napkin check please
Room key more coke for the captain
Lipstick on the filter sign out on the door
Seven hours til turndown services
On the second floor knock knock
Ten o’clock housekeeping with breakfast
Awe shock coffee hot
Airborne in the French press
Facedown on the bedspread
Color nearly half dead
Still recognizable as a regular guest
Missing wallet missing watch
Something in his tumbler probably stronger
Than the double scotch
Dizzy talk with busy cops
But no mention in the paperwork
Of the stash cost, the cash losses
No prints only hint
Blonde wig in the bathtub
APB on radio, state patrol on the backup
Nothing on the register
No plates on the rental car
Needle in the hay
Girl like a shadow in the dark
But nine miles away
In the bathroom at a Texaco
Color contact lenses, freehand freckles
Money in the pantyhose ten minutes from SFO
Cop at the counter with a photo of
A brown-eyed girl in different clothes
Cash fare rideshare
Taxi to the airport gate 5
On-time baggage just a Jansport
Business-class so rum and cola
Guiltless sleep til Mexico then
On the beach like any other
Rich resorter’s doctor’s orders
No talking business
Room service evening paper and a mai tai
English version
Color picture, two-inch headline:
Jane Doe versus Kingpin
Drama at a local hotel suspect in the wind
Drug money missing as much as half a million
Likely inside job just too much
Intel for civilians bills in a backpack
Untrackable all cash
Flight risk highly likely
Solo female on the lam back at the residence
Bedtime for the Kingpin kids
Mommy on the tuck-in shift
Lights out now goodnight kisses
White lie for little princes:
Daddy on a business trip
Then frantic phone calls to
The lawyers: asset shelters, audit risks
No talking business
No call no show
Nanny girl still MIA slow drawl
Plain clothes but never ever out a day
Mommy at the changing station
Weak knees with the revelation
Teddy on the top shelf:
Stuffing out decapitation
Lens in it's belly gone
Day and night always on
Disemboweled nanny cam
Now nanny with the upper hand unforced error
Silly Daddy such a fool
Barely there but still this fumbling
With the household golden rule
No talking business no talking business
In the baby’s room
No talking business no talking business
In the baby’s room
