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
Plenty of room at the
Hotel California
Any time of year
You can find it here
Her mind is definitely twisted
She's got the
Mercedes-Benz
She's 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're livin' it up
at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibies
Mirrors on the ceiling
Depict champaign 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
nightman
We are programed to
recieve
You can check out any
time you like
But you can never
leave
