Hotel California

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
And 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 place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, any time of year
You can find it here, yeah
Her name is Tiffany-Twisted, she's got a Mercedes Benz
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, she calls them her friends
How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember and some dance to forget
So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine"
He said "We haven't had that kinda spirit here since 1969"
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
Living it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, what a nice surprise
Bring your alibis, yeah
A mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice
She said "we are all just prisoners here of our own device"
In the masters chamber, they gathered for the feast
Try try and stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was running 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"
You can check out any time you like but you can never leave, no
