On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up a head 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 he 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 he lit up a candle
And he showed me the way
There were voices down the coridor
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
His mind is Tiffany twisted
He got a Mercedes Benz
He got a lot of pretty
Pretty girls he 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 more wine
We haven't had that spirit
Here since nineteen sixtynine
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say:
2x:
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibis
