Hotel California
The Eagles
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
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven and this could be hell
Then she lit up the candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say-ay
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
We're livin' it up 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 uh
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" and he said
"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say-ay
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room 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
In the master's chambers
We gathered for the feast
They stabbed 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 nightman,
"We are programmed to recieve
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!"
