Notell Hotel

[Verse 1]

I checked into the room and I checked the view

And then I locked and chained the door

I had time to kill, I had space to fill

Like a prisoner on the floor

But then the silence broke

There's a woman screaming down the hall

And I wondered what was going on

Here at the Notell Hotel

[Verse 2]

So I killed the light and I slipped the chain

Took a peek into the hall

I was just in time to see the waiter trip

And drop the dinner on the floor

But the bellboy smiled

As the elevator started to fall

And I wondered what was going on

Down at the Notell Hotel

[Chorus]

Ooh, I love a mystery (Cover up and intrigue)

Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything I see

Ooh, how I love a mystery

Turned up raincoats, secret agents

Waiting for the missing clue

At a rendezvous

[Verse 3]

I heard the sound of feet and I looked out to meet

A girl I knew I'd seen before

She had the kind of looks you see in dirty books

And she was dripping on the floor

She was taking a shower when someone tiptoed in

And turned out the lights

It's gonna be one of those nights

Down at the Notell Hotel

[Verse 4]

I took her into my room and picked the lock on the bar

To get a drink to calm her down

Then the mirror cracked as the window shook

And the table turned around

And when I grabbed at the phone

There was a voice at the end of the line

"Is that 1059? Is anything wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Here at the Notell Hotel

[Chorus]

Ooh, I love a mystery (Cover up and intrigue)

Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything I see

Ooh, how I love a mystery

Turned up raincoats, secret agents

Waiting for the missing clue

At a rendezvous

[Outro]

"Is anything wrong? Is anything wrong?"

"Is anything wrong? Is anything wrong?"

"Is anything wrong? Is anything wrong?"

"Is anything wrong?"
