VERSE

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.

CHORUS

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.

VERSE

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted

She got the

Mercedes Benz

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

VERSE

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

CHORUS

Welcome to

the

Hotel California

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely face

They livin' it up at

the

Hotel California

What a nice surprise

(what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis.

VERSE

Mirrors on

the ceiling, the pink champagne on

ice.

And she said, 'We are all just prisoners here of

our own device.

And in the master's chambers, They gathered for

the

feast.

They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the

beast

VERSE

Last thing I remember I was

running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

Relax said the night man, we are programmed to receive.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
