[00:52]On a dark desert highway
[00:55]Cool wind in my hair
[00:58]Warm smell of colitas
[01:01]Rising up through the air
[01:05]Up ahead in the distance
[01:08]I saw a shimmering light
[01:11]My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
[01:15]I had to stop for the night
[01:18]There she stood in the doorway
[01:21]I heard the mission bell
[01:24]And I was thinking to myself
[01:26]This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
[01:31]Then she lit up a candle
[01:34]And she showed me the way
[01:37]There were voices down the corridor
[01:40]I thought I heard them say
[01:43]Welcome to the Hotel California
[01:49]Such a lovely place
[01:51]Such a lovely place (background)
[01:53]Such a lovely face
[01:56]Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[02:02]Any time of year
[02:04]Any time of year (background)
[02:06]You can find it here
[02:10]You can find it here
[02:11]Her mind is Tiffany twisted
[02:13]She's got the Mercedes bends
[02:16]She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
[02:19]That she calls friends
[02:23]How they dance in the courtyard
[02:26]Sweet summer sweat
[02:29]Some dance to remember
[02:32]Some dance to forget
[02:36]So I called up the Captain
[02:39]Please bring me my wine
[02:42]He said
[02:43]We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
[02:49]And still those voices are calling from far away
[02:55]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[02:59]Just to hear them say
[03:02]Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:08]Such a lovely Place
[03:10]Such a lovely Place (background)
[03:11]Such a lovely face
[03:14]They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
[03:20]What a nice surprise
[03:22]What a nice surprise (background)
[03:24]Bring your alibies
[03:28]Mirrors on the ceiling
[03:31]Depict champaign on ice
[03:33]And she said
[03:34]We are all just prisoners here
[03:37]Of our own device
[03:41]And in the master's chambers
[03:44]They gathered for the feast
[03:48]They stab it with their steely knives
[03:51]But they just can't kill the beast
[03:53]Last thing I remember
[03:56]I was running for the door
[04:00]I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
[04:07]Relax said the nightman
[04:10]We are programed to recieve
[04:13]You can check out any time you like
[04:16]But you can never leave
