Hotel California

[02:10.07] On a dark desert highway

[02:13.03] Cool wind in my hair

[02:16.22] Warm smell of colitas

[02:19.43] Rising up through the air

[02:22.63] Up ahead in the distance

[02:25.82] I saw a shimmering light

[02:29.01] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

[02:32.19] I had to stop for the night

[02:35.37] There she stood in the doorway

[02:38.57] I heard the mission bell

[02:42.28] And I was thinking to myself

[02:44.41] "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"

[02:48.39] Then she lit up a candle

[02:51.59] And she showed me the way

[02:54.77] There were voices down the corridor

[02:57.69] I thought I heard them say

[03:01.14] Welcome to the Hotel California

[03:06.72] Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)

[03:09.83] Such a lovely face

[03:13.55] Plenty of room at the Hotel California

[03:19.56] Any time of year (any time of year)

[03:22.59] You can find it here

[03:26.56] Her mind is Tiffany-twisted

[03:29.74] She got the Mercedes Benz

[03:32.94] She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys

[03:36.57] That she calls friends

[03:39.58] How they dance in the courtyard

[03:42.40] Sweet summer sweat

[03:46.00] Some dance to remember

[03:49.20] Some dance to forget

[03:51.97] So I called up the Captain

[03:55.17] "Please bring me my wine"

[03:57.72] He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here

[04:01.07] Since 1969"

[04:05.06] And still those voices are calling from far away

[04:11.43] Wake you up in the middle of the night

[04:14.61] Just to hear them say

[04:17.97] Welcome to the Hotel California

[04:23.38] Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)

[04:26.58] Such a lovely face

[04:30.03] They livin' it up at the Hotel California

[04:36.39] What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)

[04:39.32] Bring your alibis

[04:43.57] Mirrors on the ceiling

[04:46.76] The pink champagne on ice

[04:48.53] And she said, 'We are all just prisoners here

[04:53.30] Of our own device"

[04:56.22] And in the master's chambers

[04:59.57] They gathered for the feast

[05:02.75] They stab it with their steely knives

[05:05.32] But they just can't kill the beast

[05:09.13] Last thing I remember, I was

[05:12.32] Running for the door

[05:15.52] I had to find the passage back

[05:18.18] To the place I was before

[05:21.80] "Relax, " said the night man

[05:24.18] "We are programmed to receive

[05:28.16] You can check out any time you like

[05:31.34] But you can never leave"
