They Might Be Giants - She Was a Hotel Detective (with no parentheses) lyrics
[They Might Be Giants - She Was a Hotel Detective with no parentheses lyrics]
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 suit's 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 suit's 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
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 suit's 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 suit's 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
