| [01:05.200] | On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair |
| [01:11.810] | Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air |
| [01:18.300] | Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light |
| [01:24.270] | My head grew heavy and my sight grew dimmer |
| [01:27.210] | I had to stop for the night |
| [01:31.280] | There she stood in the doorway |
| [01:34.250] | I heard the mission bell |
| [01:37.570] | And I was thinking to myself: "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell" |
| [01:44.000] | Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way |
| [01:50.470] | There were voices down the corridor, |
| [01:53.470] | I thought I heard them say... |
| [01:57.210] | Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [02:02.900] | Such a lovely place, such a lovely face |
| [02:09.710] | Plenty of room at the Hotel California |
| [02:15.870] | Any time of year, you can find it here |
| [02:22.630] | Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends |
| [02:28.940] | She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends |
| [02:35.690] | How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat |
| [02:42.240] | Some dance to remember, some dance to forget |
| [02:48.750] | So I called up the Captain, |
| [02:51.700] | "Please bring me my wine" |
| [02:54.590] | He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine" |
| [03:01.450] | And still those voices are calling from far away, |
| [03:08.220] | Wake you up in the middle of the night |
| [03:11.400] | Just to hear them say... |
| [03:14.720] | Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [03:20.440] | Such a lovely place, such a lovely face |
| [03:27.060] | They living it up at the Hotel California |
| [03:33.400] | What a nice surprise, bring your alibis |
| [03:40.520] | Mirrors on the ceiling, |
| [03:43.840] | The pink champagne on ice |
| [03:46.060] | And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" |
| [03:53.060] | And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast |
| [03:59.760] | They stab it with their steely knives, |
| [04:02.450] | But they just can't kill the beast |
| [04:05.800] | Last thing I remember, I was running for the door |
| [04:12.660] | I had to find the passage back to the place I was before |
| [04:19.140] | "Relax, " said the night man |
| [04:21.830] | "We are programmed to receive. |
| [04:25.880] | You can check out any time you like, |
| [04:29.010] | But you can never leave. " |
