Lahiru Dikkumbura - Hotel California

{Verse 1}
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
Head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

{Verse 2}
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinkin' to myself
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle
Then she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
Thought I heard them say, hеy!

{Chorus}
"Welcome to the Hotеl California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face, yeah!
Plenty of rooms at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here"

{Verse 3}
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz, uh
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

{Verse 4}
So I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, "Haven't had that spirit here
Since 1969"
And still those voices are callin'
From far away
You can check out any time you like

{Chorus}
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis"
(Oh!)

{Verse 5}
Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice, she said
"We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
In the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
"You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave"

{Verse 6}
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
Had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax," said the night man
"We are programmed to receive (Yeah)
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave"

{Outro}
Yeah, yeah!
Du-ru-du!
Yeah!
