| [00:16.830] |
|
| [00:52.300] |
On a dark desert highway, |
| [00:56.100] |
cool wind in my hair |
| [00:59.150] |
Warm smell of colitas, |
| [01:02.290] |
rising up through the air |
| [01:05.460] |
Up ahead in the distance, |
| [01:08.890] |
I saw a shimmering light |
| [01:11.470] |
My head grew heavy and |
| [01:13.130] |
my sight grew dim |
| [01:15.410] |
I had to stop for the night |
| [01:18.290] |
There she stood in the doorway; |
| [01:21.340] |
I heard the mission bell |
| [01:24.670] |
And I was thinking to myself, |
| [01:27.070] |
'This could be Heaven or |
| [01:28.900] |
this could be Hell' |
| [01:31.870] |
Then she lit up a candle |
| [01:34.350] |
and she showed me the way |
| [01:36.810] |
|
| [01:38.160] |
There were voices down the corridor, |
| [01:41.430] |
I thought I heard them say... |
| [01:44.380] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [01:49.650] |
Such a lovely place |
| [01:52.160] |
Such a lovely face |
| [01:53.890] |
Such a lovely face |
| [01:57.450] |
Plenty of room at the Hotel California |
| [02:03.610] |
Any time of year, you can find it here |
| [02:09.690] |
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, |
| [02:13.900] |
she got the Mercedes bends |
| [02:17.090] |
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, |
| [02:20.220] |
that she calls friends |
| [02:23.490] |
How they dance in the courtyard, |
| [02:26.500] |
sweet summer sweat. |
| [02:30.190] |
Some dance to remember, |
| [02:33.390] |
some dance to forget |
| [02:36.760] |
So I called up the Captain, |
| [02:39.950] |
'Please bring me my wine' |
| [02:42.470] |
He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' |
| [02:49.950] |
And still those voices are calling from far away, |
| [02:56.330] |
Wake you up in the middle of the night |
| [02:59.590] |
Just to hear them say... |
| [03:02.600] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [03:08.450] |
Such a lovely place |
| [03:10.270] |
Such a lovely face |
| [03:11.910] |
Such a lovely face |
| [03:15.250] |
They livin' it up at the Hotel California |
| [03:19.210] |
|
| [03:21.520] |
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis |
| [03:28.830] |
Mirrors on the ceiling, |
| [03:31.270] |
The pink champagne on ice |
| [03:34.140] |
And she said 'We are all |
| [03:36.170] |
just prisoners here, of our own device' |
| [03:41.410] |
And in the master's chambers, |
| [03:44.710] |
They gathered for the feast |
| [03:48.200] |
The stab it with their steely knives, |
| [03:50.760] |
But they just can't kill the beast |
| [03:54.430] |
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door |
| [04:00.850] |
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before |
| [04:07.790] |
'Relax,'said the night man, |
| [04:10.310] |
We are programmed to receive. |
