[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?"
