Where my folks at
It's your boy (yeah)
And we're about to take it back (can we go back a little bit)
Way back (back a little bit)
That's right
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 thinkin' 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 (yeeah)
Plenty of room at the Hotel California (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Anytime of year (anytime of year)
You can find it here...
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
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 ain't had that spirit here since, 1989"
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 (yeah!)
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling, cold Cristal on ice
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 they steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast (Nooo)
Last thing I remember, I was runnin' 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"
