Hotel California 
 

On a dark desert highway Cold 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 door way 
I heard the mission bell 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 face 
Plenty of room at the Hotel California 
Any time of year you can find it here 
Her mind is Tiffany twisted She's got the Mercedes Benz 
She's got a lot fo pretty pretty boys 
She calls friends How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat 
Some dance to remember Some dance to forget 
So I call up the captain Please bring me my wine 
He saind"We haven't had that spirit here since 1969" 
And sill 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 palce Such a lovely face 
They're livin'it up at the Hotel California 
What a nice surprise 
Bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling Pink champagne on ice 
She said We're just prisoners here of our own device 
And in the master's chambers 
They gathered for a feast They stabbed 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 nightman 
We are programmed to receive 
You can check out any time you like 
But you can never leave
