She Was A Hotel Detective (1994 Version) Lyrics
Night-time 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
She says maybe
In the all-night laundromat
Wait one minute
I have seen her
She's a billionaire
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
But now she's better connected
She didn't have to change anything
Just the stencil on her window
She drove the underworld crazy
But now she goes insane in her way
When it suits her occupation
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
She's the only
Girl in this back alleyway
Will she shoot you
She won't have to
You're already dead
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
But now she's better connected
She didn't have to change anything
Just the stencil on her window
She drove the underworld crazy
But now she goes insane in her way
When it suits her occupation
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

I like this song quite a bit. Such awesome/hilarious/cool disco-revival. Love the falsetto.
It is crazy rare though, and it is really hard to find in the shadow of (She Was A) Hotel Detective. To help anyone out, this is off of the '94 EP "Back to Skull", and you can only really find it for download in a podcast on one of the fan-run websites.
