Hotel California

Hotel California

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

suimmering light

My head grew heavy and

my sight grew dim

I had to stop

for the night

These she stood

in the doorway

I heard the

mission bell

He said And

I was thinking

to myself

this could be heaven

and 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

that she calls friends

How they dance

in the courtyard

sweet summer sweet

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

nineteen sixty nine

and still those voices

are calling

from far away

wake you up

in the middle

of the night

just to here them say

Welcome to the

Hotel California

Such a lovely place

(such a lovely place)

such a lovely face

They 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

any time

but you can

never leave-
