(SLOW)
ON A DARK DESERT HIGHAY / COOL WIND IN MY HAIR
WARM SMELL OF COLITAS / RISING UP THROUGH 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 THE NIGHT
THERE SHE STOOD IN THE DOOR WAY
I HEARD THE MISSION BELL / AND I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF
THIS COULD BE HEAVEN OR THIS COULD BE HELL
THEN SHE LIT UP A CANDLE / AND SHE SHOW ME THE WAY
THERE WERE VOICES DOWN THE CORIDOR
I THOUGH I HEARD THEM SAY
WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALIFORNIA
SUCH A LOVELY PLACE / SUCH A LOVELY PLACE
PLENTY OF ROOM OF THE HOTEL CALIFORNIA
ANYTIME OF YEARS YOU CAN FIND IT HERE
2*THEY LIVING IN UP AT THE HOTEL CALIFORNIA
WHAT A NICE SURPRISE BRING YOUR ALIBIS
HER MIND IS TIFANY TWISTED / SHE GOT THE MERCEDES BENDS
SHE GOT A LOT PRETTY PRETTY BOYS / THAT SHE CALL FRIENDS
HOW THEY DANCE IN THE COURT YARD / SWEAT SUMMER SWEAT
SOME DANCE TO REMEMBER / SOME DANCE TO FORGET
SO I CALLED UP THE CAPTAIN / PLEASE BRING ME MY WINE
HE SAID 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 MIDLE OF THE NIGHT / JUST TO HEAR THEM SAY
MIRRORS ON THE CEILING / THE PINK CHAMPAGNE ON THE ICE
AND SHE SAID / WE ARE ALMOST PRISONERS HERE
OF OUR OWN DEVICE / AND IN THE MASTER'S CHAMBERS
THEY GARED FOR THE FEAST / THEY STAB IT WITH THEIR STEELY KNIVES
BUT THEY JUST CAN'T KILLED THE BEAST
LAST NIGHT I REMEMBER / I WAS RUNNING FOR THE DOOR
I HAD 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 ANYTIME YOU LIKE BUT YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE
