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
