                                 *****


        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
        An' 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-a room at the Hotel California
        Any time of year (any time of year)
        You can find it here

        Her mind is defin'ly twisted
        She got the mercedes benz, ugh
        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 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 suprise (what a nice suprise)
        Bring your alibis's          

        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 masters chamber 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 recieve, you can check out any time
        You like but you can never leave"

        Welcome to the Hotel California
        Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
        Such a lovely face
        Plenty-a room at the Hotel California
        Any time of year (any time of year)
        You can find it here

        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 suprise (what a nice suprise)
        Bring your alibis's
