Hotel California - The Eagles Lyrics

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 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
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 benz

She got a lot of 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 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 face
They livin' it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise − bring your alibis…..

Mirrors on the ceiling − 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 gathered 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 checkout any time you like − But you can never leave.
