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 dimmer
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 it here

Her mind
is Tiffany-twisted, She 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 face)
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 device'
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 remember, I was running for
the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax'
said the nightman, We are programed to receive.
You can check out any time
you like, but you can never leave
