(EAGLES)

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) 
         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 is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends 
         She 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 nineteen sixty-nine' 
         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 livin' it up at the Hotel California 
         What a nice surprise (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 night man, 
         'We are programmed to receive.
