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 
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 
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 
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 
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 
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
