Hotel California
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hairWarm smell of colitas rising up through the airUp ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering lightMy 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 bellAnd I was thinkin’ to myself, “This could be heaven or this could be hell”Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the wayThere were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel CaliforniaSuch a lovely place (such a lovely place)Such a lovely facePlenty of room at the Hotel CaliforniaAny time of year (any time of year)You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz, uhShe got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friendsHow they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweatSome dance to remember, some dance to forget

Welcome to the Hotel CaliforniaSuch a lovely place (such a lovely place)Such a lovely faceThey’re livin’ it up at the Hotel CaliforniaWhat a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on iceAnd she said, We are all just prisoners here of our own deviceAnd in the master’s chambers, they gathered for the feastThey stab it with their steely knives, but they just can’t kill the beast
