[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

[04:36.09]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
