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 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 place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in 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 nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling 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
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The 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 the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!' -

Warm smell of colitas
(Evidently) this refers to "little buds", Mary Jane, weed, marijuana, etc.

I had to look it up, LWT.
Never heard of it.

Isn't that song about getting sucked into the California music scene (once a band becomes famous) and being unable to get back out? (Or have I been burning the colitas?)

No Room For George
I've never been a big fan of the Eagles, but I've always loved their lead singer's solo song In The City for The Warriors soundtrack. Tough song. Even when I hated rock and roll, when he sang, "It's survival in the city, when you live from day to day, see the streets don't have much pity".....whether he realized it or not when he penned that, it was on par with Ice Cube, NWA, and a million other rappers. It resonated with me, and I imagine others as I've heard rappers sample the song. Plus that movie was ill.

LOL @ "burning the colitas."
I don't know.
I just remember despised BIL screeching it at the top of his despised voice.
