[00:08.30] On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
[00:59.15] Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
[01:06.16] Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
[01:12.32] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[01:15.79] I had to stop for the night
[01:18.17] There she stood in the doorway
[01:22.29] I heard the mission bell
[01:25.11] And I was thinking to myself
[01:28.00] "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
[01:31.82] Then she lit up a candle
[01:35.29] And she showed me the way
[01:38.16] There were voices down the corridor
[01:41.82] I thought I heard them say
[01:44.43] "Welcome to the Hotel California
[01:49.95] Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
[01:54.10] Such a lovely face
[01:59.21] Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[02:03.24] Any time of year (any time of year)
[02:07.20] You can find it here"
[02:10.44] Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz, uh
[02:19.12] She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
[02:24.18] How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
[02:30.71] Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
[02:37.33] So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
[02:43.42] He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
[02:49.63] And still those voices are calling from far away
[02:56.71] Wake you up in the middle of the night
[03:00.24] Just to hear them say
[03:02.78] "Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:07.80] Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
[03:12.38] Such a lovely face
[03:15.98] They livin' it up at the Hotel California
[03:22.25] What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
[03:25.64] Bring your alibis"
[03:28.59] Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
[03:35.34] And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"
[03:41.71] And in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast
[03:48.69] They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
[03:54.95] Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
[04:00.92] I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
[04:07.82] "Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive
[04:14.94] You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
[04:20.08]
