Hotel California
Pat The Cat Lyrics

On a dark desert highway
Driving alone in the darkness of a lonely desert road

Cool wind in my hair
Feeling the wind outside the car

The warm smell of colitas
The smell of night-blooming flowers

Rising up through the air
The smell is getting stronger

Up ahead in the distance
Seeing something in the distance

I saw a shimmering light
The light seemed to be shimmering

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
Feeling tired and wanting to rest

I had to stop for the night
Stopping for the night to rest

There she stood in the doorway
Seeing a woman in the doorway

I heard the mission bell
Hearing church bells ringing

And i was thinking to myself
Having thoughts to oneself

This could be heaven or this could be hell
Not sure what to expect

Then she lit up a candle
The woman lit up a candle

And she showed me the way
She guided me to a room

There were voices down the corridor
Hearing voices down the hallway

I thought i heard them say
Thinking that the voices were speaking to me

Welcome to the hotel california
Welcoming to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
The place and woman seem beautiful

There's plenty of room at the hotel california
There's enough space to accommodate more guests

Any time of year, you can find it here
The hotel is open throughout the year

Her mind is definitely twisted
Referring to the woman's mental state

She's got her mercedes benz
The woman has a Mercedes car

She's got a lotta pretty, pretty boys
The woman has many attractive men with her

That she calls friends
The woman considers them her friends

How they dance in the courtyard
Watching people dance in the courtyard

Sweet summer sweat
The sweat of the dancers in the summer heat

Some dance to remember
Some people dance to reminisce

Some dance to forget
Others dance to forget their troubles

So i called up the captain
Asking for assistance from the captain

Please bring me my wine
Asking for a drink of wine

He said we haven't had that spirit here since 1969
The hotel doesn't have that drink anymore

And still those voices they're calling from far away
Hearing voices from a long distance away

Wake you up in the middle of the night
Waking up from sleep

Just to hear them say
The voices are repeating themselves

They're livin' it up at the hotel california
People are enjoying themselves at the hotel

What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
It's surprising, but be prepared with an excuse

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
The hotel room is luxurious with mirrors and champagne

And she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device
The woman believes that everyone is trapped in their own way

In the master's chambers they're gathered for the feast
In a special room, people are having a luxurious meal

They stab it with their steely knifes but they just can't kill the beast
Despite trying to destroy something, it remains resilient

Last thing i remember, i was runnin' for the door
Starting to flee the hotel

I had to find the passage back to the place i was before
Trying to find the way back home

Good night said the night man we are programmed to receive
Bidding farewell to the hotel staff

You can check out anyytime you like, but you can never leave
It's easy to leave, but hard to forget the memories
