Eagles - Hotel California (Live at the Forum, Inglewood, Ca 1980)

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 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 showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
(Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
(Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She got a Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they 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"
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 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
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
(What a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said: "We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing 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 any time you like
But you can never leave!"

Hotel California

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hiar,
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air.
Up ahead on the distance
I saw a shimering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim.
I had to stop for the night.
Then she stood in the doorway:
I heard a mission bell
And I was thinking to myself:
"This could be heaven or this could be hell"
Then she lit up a candel
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say:

"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place,
Such a lovely face,
Planty of rooms at the Hotel California
Any time of year, any time of year
You can find it here!"

Her mind was teffany - twisted.
She got the Mercedes - Benz.
She got a lot of pretty - pretty boys
She called friends.
How they dance in the court-yard
Sweet summer swet.
Some dance to remember,
Some dance to foget.
So I called up a captane:
"Please, bring me my wine!" he said:
"We haven't had the spirit here
Since 1969".
And still those voices are calling from far away.
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.
You're living it up at the Hotel California.
What a nice surprise, what a nice surprise,
Bring your alibis".

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink shampein in ice and she said:
"We are all just prisoners here of our own device".
And the masters chambers
They gathered for the feast.
They stuff it with there stilly knives
But they just can't kill the beast.
Last thing 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 any time you like
But you can never leave...."
