This song and "King Sham" were the only two songs that didn't exist when we started recording. I knew I needed more uptempo stuff, that the CD was going to be pretty slow and depressing otherwise (it's still depressing, when you get right down to it, but at least it's not slow). The first time I came in and heard Mike's drum tracks for this song I knew this record was really going to be different from the last one.

This song is still my favorite to play live.

Paul - vocals, guitar
Rob Gal - guitar, bass, vocals
John Cerreta - piano

She calls ahead to the front desk at night
unaware the bellman's long since gone
Hanging up the phone she switches
off the light
Heaven help them both if she's guessed wrong

Alright, as darkness starts to fall
she wets her hair and dyes it Hitchcock blonde

He pours another Chelsea and watches the time
knowing full well their scene is done
Totally devoted and ignored, she plays it fine
but he can see it's clear her role has run

Alright, he's ripe to move along
and shape himself another Hitchcock blonde

But something lurks within her
fragrance and her smile
She's no idiot and she's known it for awhile

Alright, she slips the gun out of sight
and tell sherself she's no one's Hitchcock blonde
