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 dimmer

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 face)

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

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 1969'

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 face)

They're livin' it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling

The pink champagne on ice

And she said, 'We're 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,

You and me

We used to be together

Everyday together always

I really feel

I´m losing my best friend

I can´t believe

This could be the end

It looks as though your letting go

And if it´s real

Well I dont want to know

Don´t speak

I know what your saying

So please stop explaining

Don´t tell me cause it hurts

Don´t speak

I know what yo’re thinking

I don´t need your reasons

Don´t tell me cause it hurts

Our memories

They can be inviting

But some are altoghether

Mighty frightening

As we die, both you and I

With my head in my hands

I sit and cry

Don´t speak

I know what you´re saying

So please stop explaining

Don´t tell me cause it hurts

Don´t speak

I know what yo’re thinking

I don´t need your reasons

Don´t tell me cause it hurts

It´s all ending

I gotta stop pretending who we are

You and me

I can see us dying.......are we?

Don´t speak

I know what your saying

So please stop explaining

Don´t tell me cause it hurts

Don´t speak

I know what your thinking

I don´t need your reasons

Don´t tell me cause it hurts

Tillbaka

Life is bigger, it’s bigger than you, and you are not me

The lengths that I will go to, the distance in your eyes

Oh no I’ve said too much. I set it up

That’s me in the corner, that’s me in the spotlight loosing my religion

trying to keep up with you and I don’t know if I can do it

Oh no I’ve said too much. I haven’t said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper of very waking hour I’m choosing my confessions

trying to keep an eye on you. Like a hurtlost and blinded fool

oh no I’ve said too much. I set it up

Consider this, consider this, the hint of the century

consider this the slip that brought me to my knees failed

what if all these fantasies come flailing around

Now I’ve said too much

I thought that I heard...

But that was just a dream. That was just a dream
