Hotel California Lyrics - California Girl - Nancy Sinatra

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 

Then 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 the Mercedes Bends 

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 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 

They'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 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"
