    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 
Anytime of year (anytime 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,    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     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 anytime you like,
   But you can never leave!'
