Desperado, why don't you come to your senses You've been out ridin' fences, For so long - now. Ohh you're a hard one. I know that you've got your reasons. These things that are pleasin'you Can hurt you somehow.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy She'll beat you if she's able. You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet. Now it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table. But you only want the ones That you can't get. Desperado, Ohhhh you aint getting no younger. Your pain and your hunger, They're driving you home. And freedom, ohh freedom. Well that's just some people talking. Your prison is walking through this world all alone.

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine. It's hard to tell the night time from the day. And you're losing all your highs and lows Aint it funny how the feeling goes Away...

Desperado, Why don't you come to your senses? Come down from your fences, open the gate. It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you. You better let somebody love you. (let sombody love you) You better let somebody love you... ohhh... hooo Before it's too... oooo... late.

He was a hard headed man He was brutally handsome and she was teminally pretty She held him up and he held her for ransome in the heart Of the cold cold city He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude They said he was ruthless they said he was crude They had one thing in common they were Good in bed She'd say 'Faster faster. The lights are turnin' red." Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind, mm Are you with me so far?

Eager for action and bot for the game The coming attraction, the drop of a name They knew all the right people, they took All the right pills They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavily bills. There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face She pretended not to notice, she was caught up In the race

Out every evening, until it was light He was too tired to make it, she was too tired To fight about it

Life in the fast lane Surely make you lse your mind Life in the fast lane, everything all the time Life in the fast lane, uh huh Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst They didn't see the stop sign, Took a turn for the worst.

She said, "Listen, baby.You can hear the engine Ring.We've been up and down this highway; Haven't seen a goddam thing." He said,"Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash." "The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash." They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around And got lost They didn't know they were just dyin' to get off And it was life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane

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 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' 'There's 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's got the Mercedes Benz She's 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 1969' 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 living it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise! (what a nice surprise! ) Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling, 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 programed to receive' 'You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave'

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf But let me tell you I got some news for you And you'll soon find out it's true And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself 'cause I'm already gone And I'm feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo,hoo,hoo

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why But I guess you felt like you had to set things right Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky You can see the stars and still not see the light (that's right)

And I'm already gone And I'm feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo, hoo,hoo

Well I know it wasn't you who held me down Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains And we never even know we have the key

But me, I'm already gone And I'm feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song 'cause I'm already gone Yes, I'm already gone And I'm feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song 'cause I'm already gone Yes, I'm already gone Already gone All right, nighty-night

Moon shining down through the palms Shadows moving on the sand Somebody whispering the 23rd Psalm Dusty rifle in his trembling hands Somebody trying just to stay alive He got promises to keep Over the ocean in America Far away, the master sleeps

Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky Gold, silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by Galaxies unfolding and new worlds being born Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn And it's a long road out of Eden

Music blasting from an SUV On a bright and sunny day Rolling down the interstate In the good old USA Having lunch at the petroleum club Smoking fine cigars and swapping lies They say, "Give me 'nother slice of that barbecued brisket Give me 'nother piece of that pecan pie"

Freeways flickering; cell phones chiming a tune We're riding to Utopia; road map says we'll be arriving soon Captains of the old order clinging to the reins Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains But it's a long road out of Eden

Back home, I was so certain; the path was very clear But now I have to wonder - what are we doing here? And I'm not counting on tomorrow and I can't tell wrong from right But I'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight

Weaving down the American highway Through the litter and the wreckage, and the cultural junk Bloated with entitlement, bloated on propaganda Now we're driving dazed and drunk

Went down the road to Damascus, the road to Mandalay Met the ghost of Caesar on the Appian Way He said, "It's hard to stop this binging once you get a taste But the road to empire is a bloody, stupid waste"

Behold the bitten apple, the power of the tools But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools And it's a long road out of Eden

It's another tequila sunrise Starin slowly cross the sky, said goodbye He was just a hired hand Workin on the dreams he planned to try The days go by

Evry night when the sun goes down Just another lonely boy in town And she's out runnin round

She wasn't just another woman And I couldnt keep from comin on It's been so long Oh, and it's a hollow feelin when It comes down to dealin friends It never ends

Take another shot of courage Wonder why the right words never come You just get numb It's another tequila sunrise, this old world Still looks the same, Another frame, mm...

All alone at the end of the of the evening And the bright lights have faded to blue I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have Loved me and I never knew You know I've always been a dreamer (spent my life running 'round) And it's so hard to change (can't seem to settle down) But the dreams I've seen lately Keep on turning out and burning out And turning out the same

So put me on a highway And show me a sign And take it to the limit one more time

You can spend all your time making money You can spend all your love making time If it all fell to pieces tomorrow Would you still be mine?

And when you're looking for your freedom (nobody seems to care) And you can't find the door (can't find it anywhere) When there's nothing to believe in Still you're coming back, you're running back You're coming back for more

So put me on a highway And show me a sign And take it to the limit one more time

Take it to the limit Take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time

Raven hair and ruby lips Sparks fly from her finger tips Echoed voices in the night She's a restless spirit on an endless flight Wooo hooo witchy woman, see how High she flies Woo hoo witchy woman she got The moon in her eye She held me spellbound in the night Dancing shadows and firelight Crazy laughter in another Room and she drove herself to madness With a silver spoon Woo hoo witchy woman see how high she flies Woo hoo witchy woman she got the moon in her eye Well I know you want a lover, Let me tell your brother, she's been sleeping In the devil's bed.

Like a blue bird with his heart removed, lonely as a train I’ve run just as far as I can run If I never see the good old days shinin’ in the sun I’ll be doin’ fine and then some

How long, how long Woman will you weep How long, how long Rock yourself to sleep

Well I been doin’ time in lonesome prison, where the sun don’t shine Just outside, the freedom river runs Out there in that shiny night, with blood hounds on your mind Don’t you know it’s the same sad situation?

How long, how long Woman will you weep How long, how long

Rock yourself to sleep

Everybody feels alright you know, I heard some poor fool say (Somebody Ooooo) Everyone is out there on the loose Well I wish I lived in the land of fools, no one knew my name But what you get is not quite what you choose

Tell me, how long, how long Woman will you weep How long, how long Rock yourself to sleep

How long, how long (long and drawn out) Muddy River runs so deep How long, how long (long and drawn out) Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep, Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep, B-B-B Bye bye baby, Rock yourself to sleep http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/49/Hotelcalifornia.jpg

City girls just seem to find out early How to open doors with just a smile A rich old man And she won't have to worry She'll dress up all in lace and go in style Late at night a big old house gets lonely I guess ev'ry form of refuge has it's price And it breaks her heart to think her love is Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice So she tells him she must go out for the evening To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin' She is headed for the cheatin' side of town You can't hide your lyin' eyes And your smile is a thin disguise I thought by now you'd realize There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes On the other side of town a boy is waiting With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal She drives on through the nice anticipating 'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel She rushes to his arms, They fall together She whispers that it's only for awhile She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever She pulls away and leaves him with a smile You can't hid your lyin' eyes And your smile is a thin disguise I thought by now you'd realize There ain't now way to hide you lyin' eyes She gets up and pours herself a strong one And stares out at the stars up in the sky Another night, it's gonna be a long one She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry She wonders how it ever got this crazy She thinks about a boy she knew in school Did she get tired or did she just get lazy? She's so far gone she feels just like a fool My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things You set it up so well, so carefully Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things You're still the same old girl you used to be You can't hide your lyin eyes And your smile is a thin disguise I thought by now you'd realize There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
