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
was
Tiffany
twisted
She's
got
the
Mercedes
Benz
She's
got a
lot
of
pretty,
pretty
boys
So I
called
up
the
Captain
Please
bring
me my
wine
He
said:
"We
haven't
had
that
spirit
here
since
1969"
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're
livin'
it up
at
the
Hotel
California
What
a
nice
surprise
(What
a
nice
surprise)
Bring
your
alibis
Mirrors
on
the
ceiling
Pink
champagne
on
ice
She
said:
"We
are
all
just
prisoners
here
Of
our
own
device"
And
in
the
master's
chambers
They
gather
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
programed
to
receive.
You
can
check
out
any
time
you
like
But
you
can
never
leave"
