HOTEL CALIFORNIA eagle lyrics

L

• 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 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 bends
• 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
• 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 check-out any time you like,
• But you can never leave! "
