sandy。慢活︱清晰

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
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 face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
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,
that 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 face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
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 checkout any time you like
but you can never leave!

加州旅館
漆黑的沙漠高速公路上
冷風吹亂了我的髮
空氣中飄著仙人掌溫暖的氣味
望向遠方
我看到閃爍的燈光
我的頭越來越沈重，視線模糊
我得停下來過夜

她就站在門邊
我聽到了教堂的鐘聲傳來
我心裡想
這兒可能是天堂也可能是地獄
然後，她點燃蠟燭為我帶路

走廊傳來許多聲音
我想它們是說--------

歡迎蒞臨加州旅館
親切的態度 (親切的臉龐)
旅館內有充足的房間
無論哪一天，你總能找到空房間

她總是追求名牌時尚
她擁有賓士轎車
還有很多她稱之為朋友的俊美男孩

他們在庭院裡跳舞
汗水淋漓
有人跳舞是為了回憶
有人是為了遺忘
於是我請酒保過來
"幫我端杯酒來"
他說"我們這兒從1969年起就不再供應烈酒了"

那些聲音依然在遠方召喚
將你從午夜時分喚醒
只為了聽他們說著--------

歡迎蒞臨加州旅館
親切的態度 (親切的臉龐)
人們都在加州旅館裡尋歡作樂
多麼美麗的驚喜，是你逃避的藉口

天花板上的鏡子
冰鎮的粉紅色香檳
她說"我們都是這裡自投羅網的囚犯"

在主人的房裡
所有人赴盛宴
他們用小鋼刀戳刺獵物
卻無法宰殺那隻野獸

我最後記得的是：
我奪門而出
我得回到未完的旅程
回到從前的地方
" 別緊張"，值夜者說
" 我們已接獲指示
您隨時都可以買單
但您別想離開！"
