Hotel California

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 
Then 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) 
You can find it here" 
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz 
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 place) 
Such a lovely face 
They're living it up at the Hotel California 
What a nice surprise 
(What a nice surprise) 
Bring your alibis" 
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice 
And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device" 
And in the master's 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 
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before 
"Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive 
You can check out any time you like but you can never leave"
