Wilson Phillips - Hotel California Lyrics
On a dark desert highway,Cool wind in my hairWarm smell of colitas,Rising up through the airUp ahead in the distance,I saw a shimmering lightMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dimI had to stop for the nightThere she stood in the doorway;I heard the mission bellAnd I was thinking to myself,this could be heaven and this could be hellThen she lit up a candleAnd she showed me the wayThere were voices down the corridor,I thought I heard them say...Welcome to the hotel californiaSuch a lovely place (such a lovely place)Such a lovely faceTheres plenty of room at the hotel californiaAny time of year (any time of year)You can find us hereHer mind is tiffany-twisted,She got the mercedes benz.She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,That she calls friendsHow they dance in the courtyard,Sweet summer sweat.Some dance to remember,Some dance to forgetSo I called up the captain,please bring me my wineHe said,we havent had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nineAnd still those voices are calling from far away,Wake you up in the middle of the nightJust to hear them say...Welcome to the hotel californiaSuch a lovely place (such a lovely place)Such a lovely faceWere livin it up at the hotel california.What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)Bring your alibisMirrors on the ceiling,The pink champagne on iceAnd she saidwe are all just prisoners here of our own deviceAnd in the masters chambers,They gathered for the feastThe stab it with their steely knives,But they just cant kill the beastLast thing I remember,I was running for the doorI had to find the passage backTo the place I was beforerelax,said the night man,We are programmed to receive.And you can checkout any time you like,But you can never leave!So welcome to the hotel californiaSuch a lovely place (such a lovely place)Such a lovely faceWere living it up at the hotel californiaAny time of year (any time of year)You can find us here
