On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through 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 voice down in corridor, I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
She calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer swea
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 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)
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceilling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathers for the feast
They 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!"
