[00:52.37]On a dark desert highway,
[00:54.98]cool wind in my hair
[00:58.28]Warm smell of colitas,
[01:01.47]rising up through the air
[01:04.65]Up ahead in the distance,
[01:07.91]I saw a shimmering light
[01:11.18]My head grew heavy
[01:13.61]and my sight grew dim
[01:14.59]I had to stop for the night
[01:17.60]
[01:18.06]There she stood in the doorway;
[01:21.38]I heard the mission bell
[01:24.19]And I was thinking to myself,
[01:27.27]''''This could be Heaven or this could be Hell''''
[01:30.57]
[01:31.09]Then she lit up a candle
[01:34.09]and she showed me the way
[01:37.58]There were voices down the corridor,
[01:40.82]I thought I heard them say...
[01:43.70]
[01:44.13]Welcome to the Hotel California
[01:49.06]
[01:49.91]Such a lovely place
[01:53.61]Such a lovely face
[01:55.75]
[01:57.36]Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[02:01.55]
[02:03.24]Any time of year,
[02:06.41]you can find it here
[02:08.47]
[02:10.11]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
[02:13.36]she got the Mercedes bends
[02:16.32]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
[02:19.63]that she calls friends
[02:22.30]
[02:23.07]How they dance in the courtyard,
[02:26.19]sweet summer sweat.
[02:29.59]Some dance to remember,
[02:32.49]some dance to forget
[02:35.94]
[02:36.34]So I called up the Captain,
[02:39.17]''''Please bring me my wine''''
[02:42.25]He said,''''We haven''''t had that spirit here
[02:45.45]since nineteen sixty nine''''
[02:48.43]
[02:49.08]And still those voices are calling from far away,
[02:55.57]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[02:58.79]Just to hear them say...
[03:02.13]
[03:02.47]Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:06.61]
[03:08.19]Such a lovely place
[03:11.44]Such a lovely face
[03:13.53]
[03:15.06]They livin'''' it up at the Hotel California
[03:20.08]
[03:20.99]What a nice surprise,
[03:24.43]bring your alibis
[03:27.38]
[03:28.45]Mirrors on the ceiling,
[03:31.95]The pink champagne on ice
[03:34.04]And she said
[03:34.96]''''We are all just prisoners here,
[03:37.79]of our own device''''
[03:40.14]
[03:40.94]And in the master''''s chambers,
[03:43.97]They gathered for the feast
[03:47.33]The stab it with their steely knives,
[03:50.69]But they just can''''t kill the beast
[03:53.28]
[03:54.01]Last thing I remember, I was
[03:57.55]Running for the door
[04:00.41]I had to find the passage back
[04:03.28]To the place I was before
[04:06.21]
[04:07.00]''''Relax,''''said the night man,
[04:09.82]We are programmed to receive.

[04:16.61]but you can never leave
