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 dimmer
I had to stop for the night.
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to my self
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
Anytime of year, you can find it hear
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends,
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summers 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 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 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 |
