On
a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of calyptus rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance I saw 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 a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, thought I heard them say: Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely place Such a lovely place Theres plenty of rooms at the Hotel California Any time of year You can find them here 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 havent had that spirit here since 1969 And still these 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 place Such a lovely face Theyre living it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice And she said: We are all just prisoners of own device And in the masters chambers they gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, but they just cant kill the beast Last thing I remember I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before Relax, - said the might man, - we are programmed to receive You can check out anytime you like but can never leave |
