Lyrics

[02:08.36] On a dark desert highway
[02:11.69] Cool wind in my hair
[02:14.75] Warm smell of colitas
[02:17.91] Rising up through the air
[02:21.27] Up ahead in the distance
[02:24.13] I saw a shimmering light
[02:27.37] My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
[02:30.67] I had to stop for the night
[02:34.11] There she stood in the doorway
[02:37.21] I heard the mission bell
[02:40.33] And I was thinking to myself
[02:42.72] This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
[02:46.80] Then she lit up a candle
[02:50.02] And she showed me the way
[02:53.16] There were voices down the corridor
[02:56.27] I thought I heard them say
[02:59.48] Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:05.09] Such a lovely place
[03:06.66] Such a lovely place (background)
[03:08.42] Such a lovely face
[03:12.15] Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[03:17.86] Any time of year
[03:19.62] Any time of year (background)
[03:21.23] You can find it here
[03:24.47] Her mind is Tiffany twisted
[03:28.14] Shes got the Mercedes bends
[03:31.32] Shes got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
[03:34.43] That she calls friends
[03:37.87] How they dance in the courtyard
[03:40.56] Sweet summer sweat
[03:43.97] Some dance to remember
[03:47.25] Some dance to forget
[03:50.47] So I called up the Captain
[03:53.58] Please bring me my wine
[03:55.53] He said
[03:56.83] We havent had that spirit here since 1969
[04:03.71] And still those voices are calling from far away
[04:09.56] Wake you up in the middle of the night
[04:12.81] Just to hear them say
[04:15.94] Welcome to the Hotel California
[04:21.52] Such a lovely Place
[04:23.57] Such a lovely Place (background)
[04:25.50] Such a lovely face
[04:28.44] Theyre livin it up at the Hotel California
[04:34.26] What a nice surprise
[04:36.09] What a nice surprise (background)
[04:37.65] Bring your alibies
[04:41.67] Mirrors on the ceiling
[04:44.81] Pink champagne on ice
[04:47.07] And she said
[04:48.04] We are all just prisoners here
[04:51.46] Of our own device
[04:54.82] And in the masters chambers
[04:58.06] They gathered for the feast
[05:01.19] They stab it with their steely knives
[05:04.30] But they just cant kill the beast
[05:07.54] Last thing I remember
[05:10.67] I was running for the door
[05:14.04] I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
[05:20.45] Relax said the nightman
[05:23.00] We are programed to receive
[05:26.91] You can check out any time you like
[05:30.29] But you can never leave
