Hotel California
[Verse 1: René Moore]
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, sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night

[Verse 2: Angela Winbush]
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
I was thinking to myself "this could be Heaven, this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle, showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor, thought I heard them say
(They were livin' it up, well)
(They were livin' it up, hey)

[Chorus: both]
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
[Verse 3: René Moore]
Her mind is twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty boys, that she call friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

[Verse 4: Angela Winbush]
So I called up the Captain: "please bring me my wine"
Said "we haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
Still the voices are calling, far, far away
They wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
(They were livin' it up, well)
(They were livin' it up, well)

[Chorus: both René & Angela]
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
There's plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here (you can find it here)

[Verse 5: René Moore]
Mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice
"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
In the master's chambers, gathered for a feast
Stabbed it with the steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
[Verse 6: Angela Winbush]
Last thing I remember, I headed for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
"Goodnight" said the night man, "we're programmed to receive"
"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!"

[Chorus: both]
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
There's plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

[Outro: René & Angela]
Welcome to the Hotel California
They were livin' it up, hey
Welcome to the Hotel California
They were livin' it up, hey
Welcome to the Hotel California
They were livin' it up, yeah
Welcome to the Hotel California
They were livin' it up, yeah
