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 in corridor I thought I heard them say... Welcome to the hotel California Such a lovely plovely place (such a lovely face) Plenty of room at hotel California 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 night Just to hear them say... Welcome to the hotel California Such a lovely place (such a lovely face) They given it up at the hotel California What a nice surprise bring your alibis Mirrors on the celling The pink champagne on ice And she said we are all just prisoners Here of out own device And in the master's chambers They gethered 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 any time you like But you can never leave
