Sunset in Hotel California

On a dusty desert highway,
I saw a shimmering light
Welcome to the hotel California,
A place that haunts the night

Warm smell of colitas,
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance,
I saw a shimmering stare

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'we are all just prisoners here,
of our own device'

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

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

You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave
