[00:51.50] On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
[00:58.63] Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
[01:05.06] Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
[01:11.37] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night
[01:18.29] There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
[01:24.32] And I was thinkin' to myself, "This could be heaven or this could be hell"
[01:31.58] Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
[01:37.68] There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
[01:43.76] "Welcome to the Hotel California
[01:49.73] Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
[01:53.03] Such a lovely face
[01:56.34] Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[02:02.87] Any time of year (any time of year)
[02:06.35] You can find it here"
[02:09.69] Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz, uh
[02:16.69] She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
[02:23.13] How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
[02:29.86] Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
[02:36.50] So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
[02:41.77] He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
[02:49.58] And still, those voices are calling from far away
[02:56.01] Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say
[03:01.97] "Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:08.40] Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
[03:11.15] Such a lovely face
[03:14.44] They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
[03:20.95] What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
[03:24.27] Bring your alibis"
[03:27.77] Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
[03:33.34] And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"
[03:41.37] And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
[03:47.57] They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
[03:53.68] Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
[04:00.33] I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
[04:06.93] "Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive
[04:13.88] You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
[04:18.79]
