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
There's Plenty of room
at the Hotel California
Anytime of year,(anytime of year)
You can find us here...
Her mind is Tiffany twisted,
She got a mercedes benz
She got alot of pretty pretty boys
that she calls friends
How they danced in the court
yard 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 voice 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 (an 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 find the passage back to the place
I was before
'Relax' said the night man;
we are programmed to receive
You can check out anytime you like
But you can never leave
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
There's Plenty of room at the
Hotel California
What a nice surprise; bring your alibis
