Song. "Hotel California"

 

On a dark desert highway

Cool wind on my hair

Warm smell of colitas 

Rising up through the air

Up ahead in a/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 as

Welcome to the hotel California 

Such  a lovely (Such __ _______ ________) 

Such _ _____ _____

Any time of  year(Any ______ of _______) 

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 1969_________” 

And still those voices are calling from far away 

Wake you up in the middle of the night____ ___ ___ ______ __ __ ____

______a  _______  __________ 

Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the  ceiling

The pink champaign 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 live!”
