Letra: Hotel California

On a dark desert highway

Cool wind in my hair

The 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 voices down the corridor

I thought i heard them say

Welcome to the hotel california

Such a lovely place, such a lovely face

There's plenty of room at the hotel california

Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is definitely twisted

She's got her mercedes benz

She's got a lotta 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 1969

And still those voices they're 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 face

They're livin' it up at the hotel california

What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceilling, the pink champaign on ice

And she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device

In the masters chambers they're gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knifes but they just can't kill the beast

Last thing i remember, i was runnin' for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place i was before

good night said the night man we are programmed to receive

You can check out anyytime you like, but you can never leave
