On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up to 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 nightThere he 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 he lit up a candle and he showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them sayWelcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it hereHis mind is Tiffany twisted, He has got the Mercedes Benz
He got a lot of pretty, pretty girls that he calls friends
How we dance in the cortyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forgetSo I called up the captain; "Please bring me my wine."
"We haven´t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty- nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just hear them sayWelcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
They livin´ up at the Hotel Califonia
What a nice suprise (what a nice suprise)bring your alibisWelcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
They livin´up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
