| 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 | |
| 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 bends' | |
| 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 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 face | |
| They livin' 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 their masters' 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 | |
| Tryin to find the passage back | |
| To the place I was before | |
| 'Relax', said the night man | |
