Intro 33 Bars..31...32...
33.On the dark desert high way,
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)
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 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 here them say.
"Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place,
(such a lovely place),
such a lovely face.
They livin'it up at the Hotel
California.
What the nice surprise
(What the 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 programed to receive.
You can check out any time
you like.
But you can't never leave"
