Hotel California Songtext
von James Last

...

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 dim
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 face
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibis


You have my heart
And we′ll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby, ′cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I′ll always share
Because

When the sun shines, we′ll shine together
Told you I'd be here forever
Said I′ll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out ′til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we′ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh ehhhh)


Oh oh oh oh because
Oh oh, California
Such a lovely face
Such a lovely face (yeah yeah)
Maybe you're through man the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibis...
