Lyrics
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
night
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
the
candle
She
showed
me
the
way
There
were
voices
down
the
corridor
Thought
I
heard
them
say
Welcome
to
the
Hotel
California
Such
a
lovely
place
(such
a
lovely
place)
such
a
lovely
face
There's
plenty
of
room
at
the
hotel
California
Any
time
of
year
(any
time
of
year)
oh
you
can
find
it
here
Her
mind
is
tiffany
twisted
She
got
the
Mercedes
Benz
She's
got
a
lot
of
pretty
pretty
boys
Who
she
calls
friends
How
they
dance
it
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
coming
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
place)
such
a
lovely
face
We're
living
it
up
at
the
Hotel
California
Oh
what
a
nice
surprise
(what
a
nice
surprise)
Bring
your
alibis
Mirrors
on
the
ceiling
With
pink
champagne
on
ice
and
she
said
"We
are
all
just
prisoners
here
of
our
own
device"
And
in
the
master's
chambers
They
gathered
for
their
feast
Stab
it
with
their
steely
knives
but
they
just
can't
kill
the
beast
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
nightman
We
are
programmed
to
receive
You
can
check
out
anytime
but
you
can
never
leave

I love this song and enjoyed the quiz, but according to multiple sources (and my ears) some of the lyrics are wrong.

And still those voices are CALLING from far away...

How the dance IN the courtyard...

It's the first one that really tripped me up.

Great quiz, though.
