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 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 thinkin' to myself
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she 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, uh
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to
Some dance to forget
So I Captain
"Please bring me my wine"
He , "We haven't had that spirit here
Since 1969"
And still those voices are callin'
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 livin' 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
"We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They feast
They steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I ,
Running for the door
I passage back
To the place before
"Relax," the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You time you like
But you can never leave"
