The Eagles - Hotel California lyrics
rate meOn a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair<br />
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air<br />
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light<br />
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim<br />
I had to stop for the night<br />
<br />
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell<br />
Then I was thinking to myself this could be Heaven or this could be Hell<br />
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way<br />
There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say<br />
<br />
"Welcome to the Hotel California<br />
Such a lovely place<br />
(Such a lovely place)<br />
Such a lovely face<br />
Plenty of room at the Hotel California<br />
Any time of year<br />
(Any time of year)<br />
You can find it here"<br />
<br />
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Bends<br />
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends<br />
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat<br />
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget<br />
<br />
So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine"<br />
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"<br />
And still those voices are calling from far away<br />
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say<br />
<br />
"Welcome to the Hotel California<br />
Such a lovely place<br />
(Such a lovely place)<br />
Such a lovely face<br />
They're living it up at the Hotel California<br />
What a nice surprise<br />
(What a nice surprise)<br />
Bring your alibis"<br />
<br />
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice<br />
And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"<br />
And in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast<br />
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast<br />
<br />
Last thing I remember I was running for the door<br />
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before<br />
"Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive<br />
You can check out any time you like but you can never leave"<br /><br />
