| [01:05.200] |
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair |
| [01:11.810] |
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air |
| [01:18.300] |
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light |
| [01:24.270] |
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dimmer |
| [01:27.210] |
I had to stop for the night |
| [01:31.280] |
There she stood in the doorway |
| [01:34.250] |
I heard the mission bell |
| [01:37.570] |
And I was thinking to myself: "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell" |
| [01:44.000] |
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way |
| [01:50.470] |
There were voices down the corridor, |
| [01:53.470] |
I thought I heard them say... |
| [01:57.210] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [02:02.900] |
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face |
| [02:09.710] |
Plenty of room at the Hotel California |
| [02:15.870] |
Any time of year, you can find it here |
| [02:22.630] |
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends |
| [02:28.940] |
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends |
| [02:35.690] |
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat |
| [02:42.240] |
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget |
| [02:48.750] |
So I called up the Captain, |
| [02:51.700] |
"Please bring me my wine" |
| [02:54.590] |
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine" |
| [03:01.450] |
And still those voices are calling from far away, |
| [03:08.220] |
Wake you up in the middle of the night |
| [03:11.400] |
Just to hear them say... |
| [03:14.720] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [03:20.440] |
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face |
| [03:27.060] |
They living it up at the Hotel California |
| [03:33.400] |
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis |
| [03:40.520] |
Mirrors on the ceiling, |
| [03:43.840] |
The pink champagne on ice |
| [03:46.060] |
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" |
| [03:53.060] |
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast |
| [03:59.760] |
They stab it with their steely knives, |
| [04:02.450] |
But they just can't kill the beast |
| [04:05.800] |
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door |
| [04:12.660] |
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before |
| [04:19.140] |
"Relax, " said the night man |
| [04:21.830] |
"We are programmed to receive. |
| [04:25.880] |
You can check out any time you like, |
| [04:29.010] |
But you can never leave. " |
