On a dark desert highway...



Cool wind in my hair.



Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air


Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light


My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night


There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell


And I was thinking to myself:
"This could be heaven or this could be hell"


Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way


There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say


Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face


Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here


Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends


How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat


Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget


So I called up the Captain:
"Please bring me my wine"
He said: "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"


And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say


Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face


They're living it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis


Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said: "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"


And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast


They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast


Last thing I remember
I was running for the door


I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before


"Relax," said the night man
"We are programmed to receive


You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave"
