Lyrics

[00:54.399] On a dark desert highway,
[00:58.199] cool wind in my hair
[01:01.690] Warm smell of colitas,
[01:04.389] rising up through the air
[01:07.559] Up ahead in the distance,
[01:10.989] I saw a shimmering light
[01:13.569] My head grew heavy and
[01:15.490] my sight grew dim
[01:17.509] I had to stop for the night
[01:20.389] There she stood in the doorway;
[01:23.439] I heard the mission bell
[01:26.769] And I was thinking to myself,
[01:29.169] 'This could be Heaven or
[01:30.999] this could be Hell'
[01:33.969] Then she lit up a candle
[01:36.449] and she showed me the way
[01:38.909]
[01:40.790] There were voices down the corridor,
[01:43.529] I thought I heard them say...
[01:46.479] Welcome to the Hotel California
[01:51.749] Such a lovely place
[01:54.790] Such a lovely face
[01:55.989] Such a lovely face
[01:59.549] Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[02:05.709] Any time of year, you can find it here
[02:11.790] Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
[02:16.000] she got the Mercedes bends
[02:19.190] She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
[02:22.320] that she calls friends
[02:25.590] How they dance in the courtyard,
[02:28.600] sweet summer sweat.
[02:33.100] Some dance to remember,
[02:35.490] some dance to forget
[02:38.860] So I called up the Captain,
[02:42.050] 'Please bring me my wine'
[02:44.570] He said,'We haven't had
[02:46.300] that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
[02:52.050] And still those voices are calling
[02:54.320] from far away,
[02:58.430] Wake you up in the middle of the night
[03:01.690] Just to hear them say...
[03:04.700] Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:10.550] Such a lovely place
[03:12.370] Such a lovely face
[03:14.010] Such a lovely face
[03:17.350] They livin' it up at the Hotel California
[03:21.310]
[03:23.620] What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
[03:30.930] Mirrors on the ceiling,
[03:33.370] The pink champagne on ice
[03:36.600] And she said 'We are all
[03:38.900] just prisoners here, of our own device'
[03:43.510] And in the master's chambers,
[03:46.810] They gathered for the feast
[03:50.300] The stab it with their steely knives,
[03:52.860] But they just can't kill the beast
[03:56.530] Last thing I remember, I was
[03:59.800] Running for the door
[04:02.950] I had to find the passage back
[04:05.620] To the place I was before
[04:09.890] 'Relax,'said the night man,
[04:12.410] We are programmed to receive.
[04:16.440] You can checkout any time you like,
[04:19.170] but you can never leave
[04:21.800]
