HOTEL CALIFORNIA (1976)

cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas,
rising up through the air
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
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz
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 my wine
He said, we havent had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine
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
They livin it up at the hotel california
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
In the master's chambers
They gathered 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 programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!
