On a
dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
warm
smell of calitas, 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 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
plenty of room at the hotel california
any
time of year, you can find me 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 haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
ans
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
they
livin'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 here, of our own devise."
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 remenber, 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 just can never leave."
Welcome to the hotel California
such
a lovely place , such a lovely place
plenty of room at the hotel california
any
time of year, you can find me here.
