Hotel California (Acoustic Version)
On a dark desert highway,
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 for the night.
There she stood in the doorway.
I head the mission bell,
and I was thinkin' to myself
this could be heaven or this could be hell.
Then she lifted her candle,
and she showed me the way.
There were voices down the corridor,
thought I head them say:
"Welcome to the hotel california.
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
There's plenty of room at the hotel california.
Any time of year (any time of year)
you can find it here."
er mind is tiffany twisted,
she got the mercedes-benz.
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
that she calls friends.
Have a dance in the courtyard
sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember,
some dance to forget.
So I called up the captain,
"Please bring me my wine."
And he said,
"We haven't had that spirit here since
Nineteen sixty-nine.
And still those voices are calling from far away.
They wake you up in the middle of the night,
just to hear them say,
"Welcome to the hotel california,
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
Livin' it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis.".
Mirrors on the ceiling,
And pink champagne on ice,
And she said, "We are all just prisoners here
of our own device."
And in their master's chambers
They gather for their feast.
They stab it with their steely knives,
but they just can't kill the beast.
Last thing I remeber 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 any time you like,
But you can never leave."
