On a dark desert highway,
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance,
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
There she stood in the doorway;
And I was thinking to myself
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 Calif
Welcome to the Hotel California.
enty of room at the Hotel Calif
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
time of year, (any time of yea
Any time of year, (any time of year),
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
She got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty pretty bo
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys,
How they danced in the court
How they danced in the courtyard,
So I called up the captain
So I called up the captain;
Please bring me my wine (he said)
We haven't had that spirit here
We haven't had that spirit here
And still those voices are c
And still those voices are calling
In the middle of the night
Welcome to the Hotel Calif
Welcome to the Hotel California.
The pink champagne on ice
We are all just prisoners here
We are all just prisoners here,
And in the master's chambers
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
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage
I had to find the passage
Back to the place I was before
"Relax" said the night ma
"Relax" said the night man;
We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave...
