Eagles - Hotel California
On a dark
desert highway
cool wind in
my hair
the warm smell of
colitas
rising up
through the air
Up ahead
in a 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
plenty of room at the
Hotel California
any time of year
you can find it here
Her mind is
Tiffany twisted
She's got the
Mercedes Benz
She's got a lot of
pretty pretty boys
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 California
such a lovely place
such a lovely face
they're living it up at
the Hotel California
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
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
anytime you like
but you can
never leave
