[02:09.290]On a dark desert highway
[02:12.720]Cool wind in my hair
[02:15.970]Warm smell of colitas
[02:18.890]Rising up through the air
[02:22.260]Up ahead in the distance
[02:25.420]I saw a shimmering light
[02:28.780]My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
[02:32.380]i had to stop for the night
[02:35.640]There she stood in the doorway
[02:38.920]I heard the mission bell
[02:41.870]And I was thinking to myself
[02:44.260]This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
[02:48.510]Then she lit up a candle
[02:51.590]And she showed me the way
[02:55.020]There were voices down the corridor
[02:58.120]I thought I heard them say
[03:01.220]Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:06.830]Such a lovely place
[03:08.160]Such a lovely place (background)
[03:09.970]Such a lovely face
[03:13.300]Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[03:19.630]Any time of year
[03:21.070]Any time of year (background)
[03:23.000]You can find it here
[03:24.590]You can find it here
[03:26.650]Her mind is Tiffany twisted
[03:29.980]She‘s got the Mercedes bends
[03:33.060]She‘s got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
[03:36.680]That she calls friends
[03:39.690]How they dance in the courtyard
[03:42.420]Sweet summer sweat
[03:45.800]Some dance to remember
[03:49.350]Some dance to forget
[03:52.220]So I called up the Captain
[03:55.560]Please bring me my wine
[03:57.670]He said
[03:58.860]We haven‘t had that spirit here since 1969
[04:05.040]And still those voices are calling from far away
[04:11.320]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[04:14.550]Just to hear them say
[04:17.570]Welcome to the Hotel California
[04:23.230]Such a lovely Place
[04:25.310]Such a lovely Place (background)
[04:26.750]Such a lovely face
[04:29.940]They‘re livin‘ it up at the Hotel California
[04:36.210]What a nice surprise
[04:37.800]What a nice surprise (background)
[04:39.460]Bring your alibies
[04:43.580]Mirrors on the ceiling
[04:46.800]Depict champaign on ice
[04:49.360]And she said
[04:51.030]We are all just prisoners here
[04:53.580]Of our own device
[04:56.680]And in the master‘s chambers
[05:00.320]They gathered for the feast
[05:03.830]They stab it with their steely knives
[05:06.670]But they just can‘t kill the beast
[05:10.020]Last thing I remember
[05:12.640]I was running for the door
[05:16.630]I had to find the passage back
[05:19.030]To the place I was before
[05:22.840]'Relax', said the nightman
[05:25.300]We are programed to receive
[05:29.190]You can check out any time you like
[05:32.360]But you can never leave
