[02:16.29]On a dark desert highway
[02:20.72]Cool wind in my hair
[02:24.97]Warm smell of colitas
[02:26.89]Rising up through the air
[02:29.26]Up ahead in the distance
[02:32.42]I saw a shimmering light
[02:36.78]My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
[02:38.38]i had to stop for the night
[02:42.64]There she stood in the doorway
[02:45.92]I heard the mission bell
[02:49.87]And I was thinking to myself
[02:51.26]This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
[02:55.51]Then she lit up a candle
[02:59.59]And she showed me the way
[03:01.02]There were voices down the corridor
[03:04.12]I thought I heard them say
[03:07.22]Welcome to the Hotel California
[03:14.83]Such a lovely place
[03:18.16]Such a lovely place (background)
[03:18.97]Such a lovely face
[03:21.30]Plenty of room at the Hotel California
[03:27.63]Any time of year
[03:28.07]Any time of year (background)
[03:29.00]You can find it here
[03:33.65]Her mind is Tiffany twisted
[03:36.98]She‘s got the Mercedes bends
[03:39.06]She‘s got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
[03:44.68]That she calls friends
[03:46.69]How they dance in the courtyard
[03:49.42]Sweet summer sweat
[03:53.80]Some dance to remember
[03:56.35]Some dance to forget
[04:00.22]So I called up the Captain
[04:02.56]Please bring me my wine
[04:05.67]He said
[04:06.86]We haven‘t had that spirit here since 1969
[04:11.04]And still those voices are calling from far away
[04:19.32]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[04:22.55]Just to hear them say
[04:25.57]Welcome to the Hotel California
[04:30.23]Such a lovely Place
[04:32.31]Such a lovely Place (background)
[04:33.75]Such a lovely face
[04:37.94]They‘re living‘ it up at the Hotel California
[04:43.21]What a nice surprise
[04:45.80]What a nice surprise (background)
[04:47.46]Bring your alibis
[04:50.58]Mirrors on the ceiling
[04:53.80]Depict champagne on ice
[04:55.36]And she said
[04:56.03]We are all just prisoners here
[05:01.58]Of our own device
[05:03.68]And in the master‘s chambers
[05:06.32]They gathered for the feast
[05:10.83]They stab it with their steely knives
[05:12.67]But they just can‘t kill the beast
[05:16.02]Last thing I remember
[05:19.64]I was running for the door
[05:22.63]I had to find the passage back
[05:24.03]To the place I was before
[05:28.84]'Relax', said the night man
[05:29.30]We are programmed to receive
[05:35.19]You can check out any time you like
[05:38.36]But you can never leave
