[02:09.22]On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
[02:15.16]Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
[02:21.95]Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
[02:28.30]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[02:31.53]I had to stop for the night
[02:34.79]There she stood in the doorway;
[02:37.84]I heard the mission bell
[02:41.17]And I was thinking to myself,
[02:43.57]'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
[02:47.56]Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
[02:53.94]There were voices down the corridor,
[02:57.08]I thought I heard them say...
[03:00.27]Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:05.85]Such a lovely place
[03:09.09]Such a lovely face
[03:12.72]Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[03:18.76]Any time of year, you can find it here
[03:25.98]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
[03:32.11]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
[03:38.45]How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
[03:45.30]Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
[03:51.42]So I called up the Captain,
[03:54.62]'Please bring me my wine'
[03:57.81]He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
[04:04.22]And still those voices are calling from far away,
[04:10.76]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[04:13.97]Just to hear them say...
[04:17.07]Welcome to the Hotel California
[04:22.74]Such a lovely place
[04:25.92]Such a lovely face
[04:29.58]They livin' it up at the Hotel California
[04:35.51]What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
[04:42.91]Mirrors on the ceiling,
[04:46.47]The pink champagne on ice
[04:47.93]And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
[04:55.88]And in the master's chambers,
[04:59.66]They gathered for the feast
[05:02.74]The stab it with their steely knives,
[05:05.32]But they just can't kill the beast
[05:08.97]Last thing I remember, I was
[05:12.10]Running for the door
[05:15.72]I had to find the passage back
[05:18.09]To the place I was before
[05:22.06]'Relax,'said the night man,
[05:24.48]We are programmed to receive.
[05:28.45]You can checkout any time you like,
[05:31.68]but you can never leave
[05:37.34]Hotel California
