Hotel California
Jam on the Mutha Lyrics

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
I am driving on an empty, spooky road through the desert, feeling the breeze on my face.

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
There is a sweet fragrance in the air, as if the desert vegetation is blooming.

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
In the near distance, I noticed a sparkling bright light that glimmered in the night sky.

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I was very tiredd, started to feel dizzy and my vision blurred.

I had to stop for the night
It was necessary to end the trip and find a nighttime rest stop.

There she stood in the doorway
A woman appeared in front of me as I arrived at the hotel.

I heard the mission bell
An audible toll could be heard nearby coming from a church or mission.

And I was thinking to myself
I was reflecting internally.

"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
I thought to myself that this place could be great, but it could also be a disaster.

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
The woman lit a candle and directed me to a room.

There were voices down the corridor
I overheard people speaking in the hallway.

I thought I heard them say
I believe the words I heard were the following.

Welcome to the Hotel California
Welcome to the luxurious Hotel California.

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
It's a beautiful and pleasant place to be.

Such a lovely face
The staff of the hotel are attractive and affable.

Plenty of room at the Hotel California
There are many available spaces to stay at the hotel.

Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can enjoy this place all year round.

You can find it here
The luxurious and stunning Hotel California is available here.

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz
The woman is somewhat crazy, but she is wealthy and drives a nice car.

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
She has many attractive male friends.

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Her male friends are dancing outside under the hot summer sun.

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Some of them dance to recall good memories, while others dance to forget their troubles.

So I called up the Captain
I phoned the hotel manager.

"Please bring me my wine"
I requested a bottle of wine.

He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
The manager informed me that the hotel no longer carried that variety of wine.

And still those voices are calling from far away
The distant sound of chatter can still be heard.

Wake you up in the middle of the night
Sometimes, the noise wakes you up from your sleep.

Just to hear them say
To simply hear the voices speak.

Welcome to the Hotel California
Welcome to the exquisite and expensive Hotel California.

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
A truly magnificent and amiable place to stay.

Such a lovely face
The staff of the hotel are cordial and good-looking.

They livin' it up at the Hotel California
People are enjoying themselves at the luxurious Hotel California.

What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
People are pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable their stay is here.

Bring your alibis
Make sure to bring evidence to explain your whereabouts, should something unfortunate occur!

Mirrors on the ceiling
There are mirrors placed in the ceiling.

The pink champagne on ice
There is chilled pink champagne on ice available.

And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
A woman expressed that everyone is responsible for their own lives and actions, and are therefore confined by their own decisions.

And in the master's chambers
In a more luxurious section of the hotel.

They gathered for the feast
People gathered for a grand meal.

They stab it with their steely knives
A company of people cut their dinner with sharp and sophisticated silver knives.

But they just can't kill the beast
However, they are unable to eliminate the ongoing extravagance and consumption.

Last thing I remember
The most recent memory I have of this place.

I was running for the door
I felt compelled to run towards the exit.

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
I searched for a route that would lead me back to where I was earlier.

"Relax," said the night man
The hotel worker advised me to calm down and relax.

"We are programmed to receive
He indicates that they are following a predetermined procedure.

You can check-out any time you like
You can leave the hotel whenever it is best for you.

But you can never leave!"
The hotel is so great and so luxurious that you will want to keep coming back.
