Hotel California

HOTEL CALIFORNIA

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
The warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering lightMy 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 beheaven 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 hotelcalifornia
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
There's plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is definitely twisted
She'sgot her mercedes benz
She's got a lotta pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance toforget

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 they're calling from far away
Wake youup 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're livin' it up at the hotel californiaWhat a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceilling, the pink champaign on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device
In the masterschambers they're gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knifes but they just can't kill the beast

Last thing i remember, i was runnin' for the door
I had tofind the passage back to the place i was before
good night said the night man we are programmed to receive
