|
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair |
|
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air |
|
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light |
|
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim |
|
I had to stop for the night |
|
There she stood in the doorway |
|
I heard the mission bell |
|
And I was thinking to myself |
|
'This could be heaven or this could be hell' |
|
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way |
|
There were voices down the corridor |
|
I thought I heard them say |
|
Welcome to the Hotel California |
|
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) |
|
Such a lovely face |
|
Plenty of room at the Hotel California |
|
Any time of year (Any time of year) |
|

|
Her mind is 'Tiffany-twisted', she got the 'Mercedes bends' |
|
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends |
|
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat |
|
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget |
|
So I called up the Captain |
|
'Please bring me my wine' |
|
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969' |
|
And still those voices are calling from far away |
|
Wake you up in the middle of the night |
|
Just to hear them say |
|
Welcome to the Hotel California |
|
Such a lovely place |
|
Such a lovely face |
|
They livin' it up at the Hotel California |
|
What a nice surprise |
|
Bring your ali |
|
Mirrors on the ceiling |
|
The pink champagne on ice |
|
And she said, 'We are all just prisoners here of our own device' |
|
And in their masters' chambers |
|
They gathered for the feast |
|
They stab it with their steely knives |
|
But they just can't kill the beast |
|
Last thing I remember, I was |
|
Running for the door |
|
Tryin to find the passage back |
|
To the place I was before |
|
'Relax', said the night man |
