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
a
shimmering
light
My
head
grew
heavy
and
my
sight
grew
dim
,
I
had
to
stop
for
the
night
There
she
in
the
doorway
,
I
heard
the
mission
bell
And
I
was
thinkin'
to
myself
,
"
This
could
be
heaven
or
this
could
be
hell
"
Then
she
lit
up
a
candle
and
she
me
the
way
There
were
voices
down
the
corridor
,
I
thought
I
heard
them
say
"
Welcome
to
the
Hotel
California
Such
a
lovely
place
(
such
a
lovely
place
)
Such
a
lovely
face
Plenty
of
room
at
the
Hotel
California
Any
time
of
year
(
any
time
of
year
)
You
can
find
it
here
"
Her
mind
is
Tiffany
-
twisted
,
she
the
Mercedes
-
Benz
,
uh
She
got
a
lot
of
pretty
,
pretty
boys
that
she
calls
friends
How
they
dance
in
the
courtyard
,
sweet
summer
sweat
Some
dance
to
remember
,
some
dance
to
forget
So
I
up
the
Captain
,
"
Please
bring
me
my
wine
"
He
,
"
We
haven't
had
that
spirit
here
since
1969
"
And
still
,
those
voices
are
calling
from
far
away
Wake
you
up
in
the
middle
of
the
night
just
to
hear
them
say
"
Welcome
to
the
Hotel
California
Such
a
lovely
place
(
such
a
lovely
place
)
Such
a
lovely
face
They're
livin'
it
up
at
the
Hotel
California
What
a
nice
surprise
(
what
a
nice
surprise
)
Bring
your
alibis
"
Mirrors
on
the
ceiling
,
the
pink
champagne
on
ice
And
she
,
"
We
are
all
just
prisoners
here
of
our
own
device
"
And
in
the
master's
chambers
,
they
for
the
feast
They
stab
it
with
their
steely
knives
,
but
they
just
can't
kill
the
beast
Last
thing
I
,
I
was
running
for
the
door
I
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
"
