[00:24.110] |
On a dark desert highway |
[00:26.980] |
Cool wind in my hair |
[00:29.880] |
Warm smell of colitas |
[00:32.920] |
Rising up through the air |
[00:36.010] |
Up ahead in the distance |
[00:38.840] |
I saw a shimmering light |
[00:41.790] |
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim |
[00:44.680] |
I had to stop for the night |
[00:47.890] |
There she stood in the doorway |
[00:50.870] |
I heard the mission bell |
[00:53.600] |
And I was thinking to myself |
[00:56.030] |
This could be heaven or this could be hell |
[00:59.860] |
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way |
[01:05.670] |
There were voices down the corridor |
[01:08.700] |
I thought I heard them say |
[01:11.650] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
[01:16.960] |
Such a lovely place |
[01:19.940] |
Such a lovely face |
[01:23.330] |
Plenty of rooms at the Hotel California |
[01:28.900] |
Any time of year |
[01:31.950] |
You can find it here |
[01:35.540] |
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted |
[01:38.430] |
She got the Mercedes bends |
[01:41.570] |
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys |
[01:44.900] |
That she calls friends |
[01:47.590] |
How they dance in the courtyard |
[01:50.070] |
Sweet summer sweat |
[01:53.450] |
Some dance to remember |
[01:56.400] |
Some dance to forget |
[01:59.430] |
So I called up the Captain |
[02:02.370] |
Please bring me my wine |
[02:04.380] |
He said |
[02:05.350] |
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969 |
[02:11.850] |
And still those voices are calling from far away |
[02:17.800] |
Wake you up in the middle of the night |
[02:20.930] |
Just to hear them say |
[02:23.870] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
[02:29.080] |
Such a lovely place |
[02:32.060] |
Such a lovely face |
[02:35.400] |
They livin' it up at the Hotel California |
[02:41.010] |
What a nice surprise |
[02:44.040] |
Bring your alibis |
[02:47.840] |
Mirrors on the ceiling |
[02:50.710] |
The pink champagne on ice |
[02:52.620] |
And she said |
[02:53.960] |
We are all just prisoners here of our own device |
[02:59.640] |
And in the master's chambers |
[03:02.210] |
They gathered for the feast |
[03:05.590] |
They stab it with their steely knives |
[03:08.020] |
But they just can't kill the beast |
[03:11.530] |
Last thing I remember |
[03:13.900] |
I was running for the door |
[03:17.600] |
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before |
[03:23.560] |
Relax said the night-man |
[03:25.690] |

[03:29.440] |
