Hotel California

Lyrics

On a dark desert highway
 Cool wind in my hair
 The 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
 Any time of year, you can find it here
 Her mind is definitely twisted
 She's got her mercedes benz
 She's got a lotta 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 they're 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're livin' it up at the hotel california
 What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
 Mirrors on the ceilling, the pink champaign on ice
 And she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device
 In the masters chambers they're gathered for the feast
 They stab it with their steely knifes but they just can't kill the beast
 Last thing i remember, i was runnin' for the door
 I had to find the passage back to the place i was before
 good night said the night man we are programmed to receive
 You can check out anyytime you like, but you can never leave
