[00:27.65]On a dark desert highway,
[00:30.83]cool wind in my hair
[00:34.19]Warm smell of colitas,
[00:37.27]rising up through the air
[00:40.80]Up ahead in the distance,
[00:43.80]I saw a shimmering light
[00:47.05]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[00:50.33]I had to stop for the night
[00:53.55]
[00:53.55]There she stood in the doorway,
[00:56.81]I heard the mission bell
[01:00.18]And I was thinking to myself,
[01:02.69]'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
[01:07.00]Then she lit up a candle
[01:09.82]and she showed me the way
[01:13.47]There were voices down the corridor,
[01:16.35]I thought I heard them say...
[01:19.55]
[01:19.55]Welcome to the Hotel California
[01:25.67]Such a lovely place
[01:28.92]Such a lovely face
[01:32.54]Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[01:38.72]Any time of year,
[01:41.95]you can find it here
[01:45.45]
[01:45.45]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
[01:48.85]she got the Mercedes bends
[01:52.26]She got a lot of pretty, pretty girls,
[01:55.67]that she calls friends
[01:58.81]How they dance in the courtyard,
[02:01.83]sweet summer sweat.
[02:05.48]Some dance to remember,
[02:08.73]some dance to forget
[02:11.75]
[02:11.75]So I called up the Captain,
[02:15.12]'Please bring me my wine'
[02:17.30]He said,
[02:18.25]'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
[02:24.99]And still those voices are calling from far away,
[02:31.09]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[02:34.36]Just to hear them say...
[02:37.67]
[02:37.67]Welcome to the Hotel California
[02:43.67]Such a lovely place
[02:46.93]Such a lovely face
[02:50.56]They livin' it up at the Hotel California
[02:56.65]What a nice surprise,
[02:59.72]bring your alibis
[03:03.68]
[03:03.68]Mirrors on the ceiling,
[03:06.91]the pink champagne on ice
[03:09.06]And she said,
[03:10.11]'We are all just prisoners here of our own device'
[03:16.50]And in the master's chambers,
[03:19.76]they gathered for the feast
[03:23.18]They stab it with their steely knives,
[03:25.83]but they just can't kill the beast
[03:29.60]
[03:29.60]Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
[03:36.48]I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
[03:42.59]'Relax,' said the night man,
[03:45.36]'We are programmed to receive.
[03:49.44]You can checkout any time you like,
[03:52.52]but you can never leave!'
