[Official Lyrics]
On a dark desert highwyay, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up throught 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 face
There's 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 Benz
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends
How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captian, 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 face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice suprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice
And she said, we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
In the masters 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 a passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the night man, we are programmed to receive
You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave
