| [00:52.71] |
On a dark desert highway |
| [00:55.84] |
Cool wind in my hair |
| [00:58.99] |
Warm smell of colitas |
| [01:02.23] |
Rising up through the air |
| [01:05.32] |
Up ahead in the distance |
| [01:08.76] |
I saw a shimmering light |
| [01:11.90] |
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim |
| [01:14.49] |
I had to stop for the night |
| [01:18.48] |
There she stood in the doorway |
| [01:20.96] |
I heard the mission bell |
| [01:24.86] |
And I was thinking to myself |
| [01:27.44] |
This could be heaven and this could be hell |
| [01:31.63] |
Then she lit up a candle |
| [01:34.78] |
And she showed me the way |
| [01:38.01] |
There were voices down the corridor |
| [01:40.70] |
I thought I heard them say |
| [01:44.59] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [01:50.44] |
Such a lovely place |
| [01:52.00] |
Such a lovely place |
| [01:53.54] |
Such a lovely face |
| [01:57.47] |
Plenty of room at the Hotel California |
| [02:03.55] |
Any time of year |
| [02:05.14] |
Any time of year |
| [02:06.49] |
You can find it here |
| [02:10.43] |
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted |
| [02:13.51] |
She got the Mercedes-Benz |
| [02:16.95] |
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys |
| [02:19.60] |
That she calls friends |
| [02:23.48] |
How they dance in the courtyard |
| [02:26.36] |
Sweet summer sweat |
| [02:29.91] |
Some dance to remember |
| [02:33.09] |
Some dance to forget |
| [02:36.43] |
So I called up the captain |
| [02:39.47] |
Please bring me my wine |
| [02:42.76] |
He said we haven't had that spirit here since 1969 |
| [02:49.29] |
And still those voices are calling from far away |
| [02:55.82] |
Wake you up in the middle of the night |
| [02:58.70] |
Just to hear them say |
| [03:02.33] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [03:05.53] |
Such a lovely place |
| [03:09.61] |
Such a lovely place |
| [03:11.00] |
Such a lovely face |
| [03:14.95] |
They livin' it up at the Hotel California |
| [03:21.53] |
What a nice surprise |
| [03:23.23] |
What a nice surprise |
| [03:24.73] |
Bring your alibis |
| [03:28.96] |
Mirrors on the ceiling |
| [03:31.85] |
The pink champagne on ice |
| [03:35.14] |
And she said we are all just prisoners here |
| [03:38.07] |
of our own device |
| [03:41.52] |
And in the master's chambers |
| [03:44.50] |
They gathered for the feast |
| [03:47.94] |
They stab it with their steely knives |
| [03:50.78] |
But they just can't kill the beast |
| [03:54.42] |
Last thing I remember |
| [03:57.15] |
I was running for the door |
| [04:00.70] |
I had to find the passage back |
| [04:03.58] |
To the place I was before |
| [04:07.32] |
Relax said the nightman |
| [04:10.01] |

| [04:13.80] |
