Hotel California - The Eagles with Lyrics On Screen, Original Version and Good Quality

© The Eagles, Asylum, Warner Bros & WMG
From the 1977 album of the same title, 'Hotel California'.

Lyrics by Don Henley, Don Felder & Glenn Frey

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
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 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 nineteen sixty nine'
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 livin' 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 checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave

Good video and great song but... Mercedes Bends?!? It's Benz!!! Plus a guy below me used the wrong there, he used there an its they're.

[MademoiselleChanel94]

@MUFCtom95 Actually, Mercedes Bends is correct in this case, it's a play on words.

[jakeleo90]

Honestly, the gullibility of conspiracists... It's talking about Los Angeles. Not hell.

[AvolitionEscape]

The drummer was spoken to by a professor who told his students what the meaning of the song is. It's not addiction, or a cult, it is L.A. and the whole lifestyle, the selling of your soul. This is according to the drummer of the eagles.

[gummybearz987]

So does this mean that Marilyn and Elvis and stuff were all worshipers????? God I get shivers from this song, now that I know what its about.... you know Jay-Z and Beyonce named their daughter Blue Ivy because it has to do with this thing... I'm scared of this song now... I heard that they still go to it, and Hotel California really exists.... freaky... o_O

[gummybearz987]
