HOTEL CALIFORNIA THE 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 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
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 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 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
The 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
