[00:24.11]On a dark desert highway
[00:26.98]Cool wind in my hair
[00:29.88]Warm smell of colitas
[00:32.92]Rising up through the air
[00:36.01]Up ahead in the distance
[00:38.84]I saw a shimmering light
[00:41.79]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[00:44.68]I had to stop for the night
[00:47.89]There she stood in the doorway
[00:50.87]I heard the mission bell
[00:53.60]And I was thinking to myself
[00:56.03]This could be heaven or this could be hell
[00:59.86]Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
[01:05.67]There were voices down the corridor
[01:08.70]I thought I heard them say
[01:11.65]Welcome to the Hotel California
[01:16.96]Such a lovely place
[01:19.94]Such a lovely face
[01:23.33]Plenty of rooms at the Hotel California
[01:28.90]Any time of year
[01:31.95]You can find it here
[01:35.54]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
[01:38.43]She got the Mercedes bends
[01:41.57]She got a lot of pretty pretty boys
[01:44.90]That she calls friends
[01:47.59]How they dance in the courtyard
[01:50.07]Sweet summer sweat
[01:53.45]Some dance to remember
[01:56.40]Some dance to forget
[01:59.43]So I called up the Captain
[02:02.37]Please bring me my wine
[02:04.38]He said
[02:05.35]We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
[02:11.85]And still those voices are calling from far away
[02:17.80]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[02:20.93]Just to hear them say
[02:23.87]Welcome to the Hotel California
[02:29.08]Such a lovely place
[02:32.06]Such a lovely face
[02:35.40]They livin' it up at the Hotel California
[02:41.01]What a nice surprise
[02:44.04]Bring your alibis
[02:47.84]Mirrors on the ceiling
[02:50.71]The pink champagne on ice
[02:52.62]And she said
[02:53.96]We are all just prisoners here of our own device
[02:59.64]And in the master's chambers
[03:02.21]They gathered for the feast
[03:05.59]They stab it with their steely knives
[03:08.02]But they just can't kill the beast
[03:11.53]Last thing I remember
[03:13.90]I was running for the door
[03:17.60]I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
[03:23.56]Relax said the night-man
[03:25.69]We are programmed to receive
[03:29.44]You can checkout any time you like
[03:32.17]But you can never leave!
