[00:25.880] |
On a dark desert highway |
[00:28.925] |
cool wind in my hair |
[00:31.699] |
Warm smell of co**tas rising up |
[00:35.365] |
through the air |
[00:37.702] |
Up ahead in the distance |
[00:40.586] |
I saw a shimmering light |
[00:43.589] |
My head grew heavy |
[00:44.601] |
and my sight grew dim |
[00:46.551] |
I had to stop for the night |
[00:49.641] |
There she stood in the doorway |
[00:52.532] |
I heard the mission bell |
[00:55.722] |
And I was thinking to myself |
[00:57.824] |
this could be Heaven |
[00:59.40] |
or this could be Hell |
[01:01.574] |
Then she lit up a candle |
[01:04.545] |
and she showed me the way |
[01:07.550] |
There were voices down the corridor |
[01:10.572] |
I thought I heard them say |
[01:13.763] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
[01:18.996] |
Such a lovely place |
[01:22.07] |
Such a lovely face |
[01:25.476] |
Plenty of room at the Hotel California |
[01:31.45] |
Any time of year |
[01:34.14] |
You can find it here |
[01:37.765] |
Her mind is Tiffany twisted |
[01:40.616] |
she got the Mercedes Bends |
[01:43.684] |
She got a lot of pretty |
[01:45.597] |
pretty boys she calls friends |
[01:49.691] |
How they dance in the courtyard |
[01:52.319] |
sweet summer sweat |
[01:55.683] |
Some dance to remember |
[01:58.630] |
some dance to forget |
[02:01.758] |
So I called up the captain |
[02:04.37] |
Please bring me my wine |
[02:06.215] |
He said We haven't had |
[02:08.753] |
that spirit here since 1969 |
[02:13.607] |
And still those voices |
[02:15.128] |
are calling from far away |
[02:19.725] |
Wake you up in the middle |
[02:21.215] |
of the night just to hear them say |
[02:25.800] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
[02:30.971] |
Such a lovely place |
[02:34.14] |
Such a lovely face |
[02:37.433] |
They're living it up |
[02:38.371] |
at the Hotel California |
[02:42.914] |
What a nice surprise |
[02:46.52] |
Bring your alibis |
[02:49.964] |
Mirrors on the ceiling |
[02:52.608] |
the pink champagne on ice |
[02:54.308] |
And she said |
[02:55.922] |
We are all just prisoners here |
[02:58.792] |
of our own device |
[03:01.793] |
And in the master's chambers |
[03:04.493] |
they gathered for the feast |
[03:07.836] |
They stab it with their steely knives |
[03:09.982] |
but they just can't kill the beast |
[03:13.583] |
Last thing I remember |
[03:16.167] |
I was running for the door |
[03:20.99] |
I had to find the passage |
[03:21.587] |
back to the place I was before |
[03:25.813] |
Relax said the night man |
[03:27.822] |
