Hotel California
The Eagles

On a dark desert highway... cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas... rising up thru 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
Anytime of year(.....) you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted.. she got the Mercedez 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 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 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 champange 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 fund
(They)stab it with their steely knives...
(but they) just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember... (I was)running of the door
I had to find the passage back... to the place I was before
"Relax" said the night man... "We are programed to recent
You can check out anytime you like... but you can never leave
