On a dark desert highway,
rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance,
I had to stop for the night
Then she stood in the doorway,
And I was thinking to myself,
Then she lit up a candle,
and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
The mine is Tiffany Twisted,
she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that
How they dance in the courtyard
So I called up the captain
He said, we haven't had that spirit here
And still those voices were calling
Waking up in the middle of the night
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place,
They're living it up at the
We're all just prisoners here
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
The last thing I remember,
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage
back to the place I was before
we are programmed to receive
