Khia Hotel California Lyrics

Hotel California Lyrics

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 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)
Such a
lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of
year
(Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind was Tiffany
twisted
She's got the Mercedes Benz
She's 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"
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 place)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it
up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
(What a nice
surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne
on ice
She said:
"We are all just prisoners here
Of our own
device"
And in the master's chambers
They gather 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
the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax" said the night
man
"We are programed to receive.
You can check out any time you
like
But you can never leave"
