I was thinking to myself this could be heaven and this could be hell
Then she lit up her candle and she showed me the way,
There were voices down the corridor and I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California!
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys 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
Such a lovely place such a lovely face
Any time of year you can find it here.
