Hotel California

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm callin' through risin', risin' through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmerin' light I said this to myself, secutin', "I had to stop for the night" There she stood in the doorway with the mission bell And I said to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell" She lit up a candle, she showed me the way There were voices at the corridor, I thought I heard them say Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place, such a lovely face Livin' up at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can find us here Her mind's is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz She got a lot of pretty boys, she call her friends Dance to the courtyard, sweet summer sweat Some dance to remember, some dance to forget Then I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine" We haven't had the spirit here since 1969 And still those voices we're calling' from far away (no, no, no, no) We'll never be the rave of night, hear them say Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place, and such a lovely face Livin' it up room at the Hotel California Any time of the day, any time of the year Ooh-whoa, yeah Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord Hotel California, California Mirrors on the ceilin', pink Champagne's on ice We are prisoners here, of our own device And 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 headin' for the door I have to pass through the passage back to where I was before "Relax", said the night man, we're programmed to receive You can call me any time you like, but you just cannot leave Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place, such a lovely face Livin' up at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can find us here Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place, such a lovely face Livin' up at the Hotel California Such a lovely place, oh, what a lovely place California, California, wooh California Welcome to the Hotel California What a lovely place, such a lovely face
