Verse 1

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...

Chorus

Welcome to the hotel Cali

fornia;

such a

lovely place,

such a

lovely face

Plenty of room at the hotel Cali

fornia,

any

time of year, you can

find it here

Verse 2

Her mind is tiffany-twisted,

she got the 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

Chorus

Welcome to the hotel Cali

fornia;

such a

lovely place,

such a

lovely face

They re living it up at the hotel Cali

fornia

What a

nice surprise, bring your

alibis

Verse 3

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

The 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 checkout any time you like,

but you can never leave!
