Hotel California - Various Artists

[00:53.99]On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
[01:01.00]Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
[01:07.24]Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
[01:13.63]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[01:16.73]I had to stop for the night
[01:19.98]There she stood in the doorway;
[01:23.30]I heard the mission bell
[01:27.10]And I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
[01:33.24]Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
[01:39.74]There were voices down the corridor,
[01:42.97]I thought I heard them say...
[01:46.07]"Welcome to the Hotel California"
[01:51.73]Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face
[01:58.88]Plenty of rooms at the Hotel California
[02:04.99]Any time of year, you can find it here "
[02:12.08]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes benz
[02:18.54]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
[02:25.03]How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
[02:31.58]Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
[02:37.98]So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
[02:44.00]He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
[02:51.02]And still those voices are calling from far away,
[02:57.54]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[03:00.94]Just to hear them say...
[03:04.23]"Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:09.25]Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face
[03:16.92]They living it up at the Hotel California
[03:22.96]What a nice surprise, bring your alibis"
[03:30.34]Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice
[03:35.56]And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
[03:43.21]And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast
[03:49.63]They stab it with their steely knives,
[03:52.39]But they just can't kill the beast
[03:56.37]Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
[04:02.49]I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
[04:09.28]'Relax,' said the night-man," We are programmed to receive.
