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
 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 Bendz
 She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
 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 place)
 Such a lovely face
 They're 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
 We are programmed to receive
 You can check out any time you like
 But you can never leave
