[06:40.00]On a dark desert highway
[06:40.00]Cool wind in my hair
[06:40.00]Warm smell of colitas
[06:40.00]Rising up through the air
[06:40.00]Up ahead in the distance
[06:40.00]I saw a shimmering light
[06:40.00]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[06:40.00]I had to stop for the night
[06:40.00]There she stood in the doorway
[06:40.00]I heard the mission bell
[06:40.00]And I was thinking to myself
[06:40.00]‘This could be Heaven or this could be Hell’
[06:40.00]Then she lit up a candle
[06:40.00]And she showed me the way
[06:40.00]There were voices down the corridor
[06:40.00]I thought I heard them say
[06:40.00]Welcome to the Hotel California
[06:40.00]Such a lovely place
[06:40.00]Such a lovely face
[06:40.00]Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[06:40.00]Any time of year
[06:40.00]You can find it here
[06:40.00]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
[06:40.00]She got the Mercedes Benz
[06:40.00]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
[06:40.00]That she calls friends
[06:40.00]How they dance in the courtyard
[06:40.00]Sweet summer sweat
[06:40.00]Some dance to remember
[06:40.00]Some dance to forget
[06:40.00]So I called up the Captain
[06:40.00]"Please bring me my wine"
[06:40.00]He said,"We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
[06:40.00]And still those voices are calling from far away
[06:40.00]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[06:40.00]Just to hear them say
[06:40.00]Welcome to the Hotel California
[06:40.00]Such a lovely place
[06:40.00]Such a lovely face
[06:40.00]They livin’ it up at the Hotel California
[06:40.00]What a nice surprise
[06:40.00]Bring your alibis
[06:40.00]Mirrors on the ceiling
[06:40.00]The pink champagne on ice
[06:40.00]And she said
[06:40.00]"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
[06:40.00]And in the master's chambers
[06:40.00]They gathered for the feast
[06:40.00]They stab it with their steely knives
[06:40.00]But they just can't kill the beast
[06:40.00]Last thing I remember
[06:40.00]I was running for the door
[06:40.00]I had to find the passage back
[06:40.00]To the place I was before
[06:40.00]"Relax", said the night man
[06:40.00]"We are programmed to receive
[06:40.00]You can check out any time you like
[06:40.00]But you can never leave"
