California, hey

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

That he stood in the doorway I heard him shambale

And I was thinking to myself, this could be heaven or this could be hell

Then he lit up a candle and he showed me the way.

Level pushes down the corridor I thought I heard him say

Welcome to the Hotel California Mmmmm

It's such a lovely place It's such a lovely place

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Anytime of year You can find it here

His mind is definitely twisted He got a Mercedes Benz

He got a lot of pretty, pretty girls He 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

We haven't had that spirit here since

And still those voices are calling come far away

Wake 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 living it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling Pink champagne on ice

And he said, we are all just prisoners here of our own device.

And in the master's chambers, they gather for the feast.

The stabbing breath, they're still a little nice, but they just can't kill the beast.

Last thing I remembered, I was running for the dome I had to find the passage back to the place I was before Relax and the nightmare, we are programmed to receive You can check out anytime you like, but you can't
