On a dark desert highway
Cool 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, my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night, oh
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the distant bell, yeah
I was thinkin' to myself
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell," yeah
Then she lit up a candle
And then she served me the bread
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them sayin', ooh
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face, oh-oh
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
You could find her here," oh
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz, yeah
Got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
She just like to call them her friends, okay, alright
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat, yeah
Some of them dance to remember
Some of them dance to forget, oh
So I called up the captain
I said, "Won't you please bring me my wine?"
Said, "Haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
And still those voices are callin' from far away, oh-oh
They wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them sayin', ooh
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face, oh-oh
And there's plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
You could find her here"
Spooky trumpet solo now
ย
Ooh, mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice, and they said
"We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
In the master's chambers
They gathered to feast, hey
Stabbed me with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast, oh-oh
The next thing that I remember
See, I was running out for the door, hey
Had to find the passage back
To the place I had been before, yeah
"Relax," said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave," oh-oh-oh
ย
Oh, welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face, oh-oh
And there's plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
You could find her here, oh
