Hotel California (Bluegrass)

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,

Íthis could be heaven or this could be hellí

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 face

Plenty of room at the hotel california

Any time of year, you can find it 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,

Íplease bring me my wineí

He said, íwe havenít had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nineí

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 face

They liviní 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 íwe are all just prisoners here, of our own deviceí

And in the masterís chambers,

They gathered for the feast

The stab it with their steely knives,

But they just canít 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

Írelax,í said the night man,

We are programmed to receive.
