[00:52.899]On a dark desert highway,
[00:57.590]cool wind in my hair
[00:59.749]Warm smell of colitas,
[01:02.889]rising up through the air
[01:06.059]Up ahead in the distance,
[01:09.489]I saw a shimmering light
[01:12.069]My head grew heavy and
[01:13.729]my sight grew dim
[01:16.008]I had to stop for the night
[01:18.889]There she stood in the doorway;
[01:22.290]I heard the mission bell
[01:25.269]And I was thinking to myself,
[01:28.290]'This could be Heaven or
[01:29.499]this could be Hell'
[01:32.469]Then she lit up a candle
[01:35.379]and she showed me the way
[01:37.409]
[01:38.758]There were voices down the corridor,
[01:42.028]I thought I heard them say...
[01:45.680]Welcome to the Hotel California
[01:50.248]Such a lovely place
[01:52.759]Such a lovely face
[01:54.489]Such a lovely face
[01:58.049]Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[02:04.209]Any time of year, you can find it here
[02:10.289]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
[02:14.499]she got the Mercedes bends
[02:18.499]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
[02:20.819]that she calls friends
[02:24.089]How they dance in the courtyard,
[02:27.099]sweet summer sweat.
[02:30.789]Some dance to remember,
[02:34.790]some dance to forget
[02:37.359]So I called up the Captain,
[02:40.549]'Please bring me my wine'
[02:43.068]He said,'We haven't had
[02:44.799]that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
[02:50.549]And still those voices are calling
[02:52.818]from far away,
[02:57.190]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[03:00.189]Just to hear them say...
[03:03.199]Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:09.049]Such a lovely place
[03:10.869]Such a lovely face
[03:12.509]Such a lovely face
[03:15.849]They livin' it up at the Hotel California
[03:19.809]
[03:22.119]What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
[03:29.428]Mirrors on the ceiling,
[03:31.869]The pink champagne on ice
[03:34.739]And she said 'We are all
[03:36.769]just prisoners here, of our own device'
[03:42.009]And in the master's chambers,
[03:45.309]They gathered for the feast
[03:48.799]The stab it with their steely knives,
[03:51.359]But they just can't kill the beast
[03:55.029]Last thing I remember, I was
[03:58.299]Running for the door
[04:01.449]I had to find the passage back
[04:04.119]To the place I was before
[04:08.389]'Relax,'said the night man,
[04:11.800]We are programmed to receive.
[04:15.290]You can checkout any time you like,
[04:18.299]but you can never leave
[04:20.299]
