Hotel California

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 Califórnia
 Such a lovely place
 Such a lovely place
 Such a lovely face
 Plenty of room at the Hotel Califórnia
 Any time of year
 Any time of year
 You can find it here
 Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz
 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 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 Califórnia
 Such a lovely place
 Such a lovely place
 Such a lovely face
 We're livin' it up at the Hotel Califórnia
 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
 The 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!"
