Hotel California

[00:30.37] On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

[00:36.62] Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

[00:43.12] Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

[00:49.13] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

[00:52.12] I had to stop for the night.

[00:55.63] There she stood in the doorway;

[00:58.62] I heard the mission bell

[01:01.87] And I was thinking to myself

[01:04.37] 'This could be heaven or this could be Hell'

[01:08.37] Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

[01:14.38] There were voices down the corridor,

[01:17.87] I thought I heard them say

[01:21.12] Welcome to the Hotel California

[01:26.63] Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)

[01:29.87] Such a lovely face.

[01:33.37] Plenty of room at the Hotel California

[01:39.37] Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here

[01:46.62] Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends

[01:52.87] She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends

[01:59.38] How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

[02:05.62] Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

[02:12.12] So I called up the Captain,

[02:15.37] 'Please bring me my wine'

[02:17.87] He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'

[02:24.62] And still those voices are calling from far away,

[02:30.87] Wake you up in the middle of the night

[02:34.37] Just to hear them say"

[02:37.62] Welcome to the Hotel California

[02:43.37] Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)

[02:46.62] Such a lovely face.

[02:49.87] They livin' it up at the Hotel California

[02:56.13] What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis

[03:03.63] Mirrors on the ceiling,

[03:06.62] The pink champagne on ice

[03:09.12] And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'

[03:16.37] And in the master's chambers,

[03:20.13] They gathered for the feast

[03:23.38] They stab it with their steely knives,

[03:26.13] But they just can't kill the beast

[03:29.88] Last thing I remember, I was

[03:32.62] Running for the door

[03:36.38] I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

[03:43.13] 'Relax' said the night man,

[03:45.38] 'We are programmed to receive.

[03:49.38] You can check out any time you like,

[03:52.38] But you can never leave!'
