Hotel California (alternative lyrics)

Hotel California (alternative lyrics) In a dark downtown sidestreet, warm wind in my hair The sickly smell of sewage, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I heard a vague sound My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for a round There she stood in the opening; I heard the ringing of the bell And I was thinking to myself, "This could be heaven but goin' to cost me a hell.." Then she said: "take a seat first" and poured me a beer There were voices down the place, I thought I heard them cheer... Why we have to keep lis'ning to Hotel California It's a lovely song (such a lovely song) But this much is wrong (this much is wrong) Plenty of playtime for Hotel California Any time of year, you can hear it here Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty girls, who pretend to be friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat Some dance for you to remember, but I want to forget So I yelled to the bargirl, "Please choose a song of mine" She said, "We didn't play another record here since nineteen seventy nine" And at night I heard the same music from far away, Waking up in the middle of the night Just to hear myself say... Why I have to keep lis'ning to Hotel California It's a lovely song (such a lovely song) But this much is wrong (this much is wrong) Now my life revolves around Hotel California It's of no surprise (no surprise) I believed in paradise Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink shots with ice And she said: "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" And upstairs in her chamber, We gathered for the feast Once you're hit by her fire You're caught by 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 checkout any time you like, But the song will never leave!
