[00:00.00] |
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair |
[00:33.67] |
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air |
[00:39.75] |
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light |
[00:45.84] |
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim |
[00:49.39] |
I had to stop for the night |
[00:53.15] |
There she stood in the doorway; |
[00:55.71] |
I heard the mission bell |
[00:58.48] |
And I was thinking to myself, |
[01:02.19] |
'this could be heaven or this could be hell' |
[01:05.90] |
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way |
[01:11.47] |
There were voices down the corridor, |
[01:15.41] |
I thought I heard them say... |
[01:18.41] |
Welcome to the hotel california |
[01:24.24] |
Such a lovely place |
[01:26.54] |
Such a lovely face |
[01:31.53] |
Plenty of room at the hotel california |
[01:37.07] |
Any time of year, you can find it here |
[01:44.56] |
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends |
[01:51.25] |
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends |
[01:57.47] |
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. |
[02:03.87] |
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget |
[02:10.79] |
So I called up the captain, |
[02:14.08] |
'please bring me my wine' |
[02:17.87] |
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' |
[02:24.22] |
And still those voices are calling from far away, |
[02:29.60] |
Wake you up in the middle of the night |
[02:33.62] |
Just to hear them say... |
[02:36.81] |
Welcome to the hotel california |
[02:42.19] |
Such a lovely place |
[02:46.47] |
Such a lovely face |
[02:48.88] |
They livin' it up at the hotel california |
[02:55.36] |
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis |
[03:01.94] |
Mirrors on the ceiling, |
[03:06.17] |
The pink champagne on ice |
[03:09.51] |
And she said 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device' |
[03:16.78] |
And in the master's chambers, |
[03:19.20] |
They gathered for the feast |
[03:22.18] |
The stab it with their steely knives, |
[03:25.76] |
But they just can't kill the beast |
[03:28.87] |
Last thing I remember, I was |
[03:32.87] |
Running for the door |
[03:35.69] |
I had to find the passage back |
[03:38.54] |
To the place I was before |
[03:42.69] |
'relax,' said the night man, |
[03:45.48] |
