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 face
|
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
|
Any time of year
|
You can find it here
|
|
Her mind is Tiffany twisted
|
She got the Mercedes Bentz
|
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
|
That she call friends
|
How they dance in the courtyard
|
Sweet summer sweat
|
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
|
So I called up the captine
|
"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 night
|
Just to hear them say
|
|
Welcome to the Hotel California
|
Such a lovely place
|
Such a lovely face
|
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
|
What a nice surprise bring you alibis..
|
|
Mirrors on the ceiling
|
The pink champaine 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 nightman
|
"We are programmed to receive
|
You can check out any time you like
|
But you can never leave
|
