Lyrics

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 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 bends'
 She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
 How they dance in the courtyard, 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 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 their masters' 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
 Had to find the passage back
 To the place I was before
 'Relax', said the night man

 You can checkout any time you like
 But (cha) you can never leave
