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
head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway;
heard the mission bell
I was thinking to myself:
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle
she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
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
You can find it here"

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz
She 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 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 place}
Such a lovely face

They living it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise {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 to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax" said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive:
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!"
