Strophe) 

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair 

Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air 

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light 

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim 

I had to stop for the night 

There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell 

And I was thinking to myself 

This could be heaven or this could be hell 

Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way 

There were voices down the corridor 

I throught I headr them say....

Refrain) 

Welcome to the Hotel California 

Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face 

There´s plenty of room at the Hotel California 

Any time of year, (any time of year) You can find it here 

Strophe) 

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes Benz 

She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends 

How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget 

So I calles up the captain, Please bring me my wine (he said) 

We haven´t had that spirit here since 1969

and still those coices are calling from far away 

Wake ypu up iin the middle of the night 

Just to hear them say...

Refrain) 

Welcome to the Hotel California 

Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face 

They´re livin´it up at tha Hotel California 

What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprice) Bring your alibis 

Strophe) 

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice (and she said) 

We are all just prisoners here, of our own device 

and in the master´s chambers, they gathered for the feast 

They stab it with their steely knives but they just can´t kill the beast 

Last thing I remember, I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before 

"Relax" said the night man, we are programmed to receive 

You can check out any time you like 

But you can never leave ......
