Hotel California

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 thinkin' 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
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted She got the
MERCEDES-BENZ
She got a lot of pretty,pretty boys 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 nineteen sixty-nine"
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
They livin' it up at the
Hotel California
What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise)
Bring
your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
