| [00:54.399] |
On a dark desert highway, |
| [00:58.199] |
cool wind in my hair |
| [01:01.690] |
Warm smell of colitas, |
| [01:04.389] |
rising up through the air |
| [01:07.559] |
Up ahead in the distance, |
| [01:10.989] |
I saw a shimmering light |
| [01:13.569] |
My head grew heavy and |
| [01:15.490] |
my sight grew dim |
| [01:17.509] |
I had to stop for the night |
| [01:20.389] |
There she stood in the doorway; |
| [01:23.439] |
I heard the mission bell |
| [01:26.769] |
And I was thinking to myself, |
| [01:29.169] |
'This could be Heaven or |
| [01:30.999] |
this could be Hell' |
| [01:33.969] |
Then she lit up a candle |
| [01:36.449] |
and she showed me the way |
| [01:38.909] |
|
| [01:40.790] |
There were voices down the corridor, |
| [01:43.529] |
I thought I heard them say... |
| [01:46.479] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [01:51.749] |
Such a lovely place |
| [01:54.790] |
Such a lovely face |
| [01:55.989] |
Such a lovely face |
| [01:59.549] |
Plenty of room at the Hotel California |
| [02:05.709] |
Any time of year, you can find it here |
| [02:11.790] |
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, |
| [02:16.000] |
she got the Mercedes bends |
| [02:19.190] |
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, |
| [02:22.320] |
that she calls friends |
| [02:25.590] |
How they dance in the courtyard, |
| [02:28.600] |
sweet summer sweat. |
| [02:33.100] |
Some dance to remember, |
| [02:35.490] |
some dance to forget |
| [02:38.860] |
So I called up the Captain, |
| [02:42.050] |
'Please bring me my wine' |
| [02:44.570] |
He said,'We haven't had |
| [02:46.300] |
that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' |
| [02:52.050] |
And still those voices are calling |
| [02:54.320] |
from far away, |
| [02:58.430] |
Wake you up in the middle of the night |
| [03:01.690] |
Just to hear them say... |
| [03:04.700] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [03:10.550] |
Such a lovely place |
| [03:12.370] |
Such a lovely face |
| [03:14.010] |
Such a lovely face |
| [03:17.350] |
They livin' it up at the Hotel California |
| [03:21.310] |
|
| [03:23.620] |
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis |
| [03:30.930] |
Mirrors on the ceiling, |
| [03:33.370] |
The pink champagne on ice |
| [03:36.600] |
And she said 'We are all |
| [03:38.900] |
just prisoners here, of our own device' |
| [03:43.510] |
And in the master's chambers, |
| [03:46.810] |
They gathered for the feast |
| [03:50.300] |
The stab it with their steely knives, |
| [03:52.860] |
But they just can't kill the beast |
| [03:56.530] |
Last thing I remember, I was |
| [03:59.800] |
Running for the door |
| [04:02.950] |
I had to find the passage back |
| [04:05.620] |
To the place I was before |
| [04:09.890] |
'Relax,'said the night man, |
| [04:12.410] |
We are programmed to receive. |
| [04:16.440] |
You can checkout any time you like, |
| [04:19.170] |
