on dark wallstreet days, a chill runs thru my hair
warm smell of taipan’s charkoayteow, rising up thru the air
up ahead in the distance, i saw a shimmering light
my heavy heart was uplifted as i behold this sight
i am blessed to be alive to rest here for the night

there He stood in the doorway; i heard the mission bell
and i was thinking to myself,  this is heaven i can tell and smell
then He lit up a candle and He showed me the way
there were voices down the corridor, i thought i heard them say…

welcome to home, hotel california
such a lovely place
such a lovely life phase
plenty of room at home, hotel california
any time of year
hope the stars let me stay here
with my dear
despite meltdown fear
depression to steer clear

her mind is at peace tho’ she has not the mercedes benz
he’s got the porsche and she’s got scarves, family and 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, ’no wine here before its time, you’re baptized in the Spirit since 1979’
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 our autumn california
such a lovely place
such a lovely phase
they livin’ it up at the hotel california
what a nice surprise, bring your alibis

angels flying 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,
we’re gathered for taipan’s feast
we should sell off earthly possessions,
stuff we don’t need, we can 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 nightman, we are programmed to receive
u can checkout any time you like, but Him u need to cleave

we have enough
whether smooth or rough
fix
on philippians 4:six

do not worry about anything
let your requests be made known2God in everything
by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving
and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding
will guard your hearts and minds in Him notwithstanding

welcome to the hotel california
such a lovely place
such a lovely phase
they livin’ it up at the hotel california
what a nice surprise, bring your alibis
