[00:00.00]On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
[00:33.67]Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
[00:39.75]Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
[00:45.84]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[00:49.39]I had to stop for the night
[00:53.15]There she stood in the doorway;
[00:55.71]I heard the mission bell
[00:58.48]And I was thinking to myself,
[01:02.19]'this could be heaven or this could be hell'
[01:05.90]Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
[01:11.47]There were voices down the corridor,
[01:15.41]I thought I heard them say...
[01:18.41]Welcome to the hotel california
[01:24.24]Such a lovely place
[01:26.54]Such a lovely face
[01:31.53]Plenty of room at the hotel california
[01:37.07]Any time of year, you can find it here
[01:44.56]Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
[01:51.25]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
[01:57.47]How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
[02:03.87]Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
[02:10.79]So I called up the captain,
[02:14.08]'please bring me my wine'
[02:17.87]He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
[02:24.22]And still those voices are calling from far away,
[02:29.60]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[02:33.62]Just to hear them say...
[02:36.81]Welcome to the hotel california
[02:42.19]Such a lovely place
[02:46.47]Such a lovely face
[02:48.88]They livin' it up at the hotel california
[02:55.36]What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
[03:01.94]Mirrors on the ceiling,
[03:06.17]The pink champagne on ice
[03:09.51]And she said 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
[03:16.78]And in the master's chambers,
[03:19.20]They gathered for the feast
[03:22.18]The stab it with their steely knives,
[03:25.76]But they just can't kill the beast
[03:28.87]Last thing I remember, I was
[03:32.87]Running for the door
[03:35.69]I had to find the passage back
[03:38.54]To the place I was before
[03:42.69]'relax,' said the night man,
[03:45.48]We are programmed to receive.
[03:48.33]You can checkout any time you like,
[03:51.81]But you can never leave!
