[00:52.120]On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
[00:58.060]Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
[01:04.850]Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
[01:11.200]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[01:14.430]I had to stop for the night
[01:17.690]There she stood in the doorway;
[01:20.740]I heard the mission bell
[01:24.070]And I was thinking to myself,
[01:26.470]'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
[01:30.460]Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
[01:36.840]There were voices down the corridor,
[01:39.980]I thought I heard them say...
[01:43.170]Welcome to the Hotel California
[01:48.750]Such a lovely place
[01:51.990]Such a lovely face
[01:55.620]Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[02:01.660]Any time of year, you can find it here
[02:10.380]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
[02:16.510]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
[02:22.850]How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
[02:29.700]Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
[02:35.820]So I called up the Captain,
[02:39.020]'Please bring me my wine'
[02:42.210]He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
[02:48.620]And still those voices are calling from far away,
[02:55.160]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[02:58.370]Just to hear them say...
[03:01.470]Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:07.140]Such a lovely place
[03:10.320]Such a lovely face
[03:16.380]They livin' it up at the Hotel California
[03:22.310]What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
[03:29.710]Mirrors on the ceiling,
[03:33.270]The pink champagne on ice
[03:34.730]And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
[03:42.680]And in the master's chambers,
[03:46.460]They gathered for the feast
[03:49.540]The stab it with their steely knives,
[03:52.120]But they just can't kill the beast
[03:55.770]Last thing I remember, I was
[03:58.900]Running for the door
[04:02.520]I had to find the passage back
[04:04.890]To the place I was before
[04:08.860]'Relax,'said the night man,
[04:11.280]We are programmed to receive.
[04:15.250]You can checkout any time you like,
[04:18.480]but you can never leave
