[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]but you can never leave
[04:21.800]
