Hotel California

When you're out there on your own
where your memories can find you.
Like a circle goes around you were lost until you found out
what it all comes down to.
One by one the lonely feelings come.
Day by day they slowly fade away.

Ooh, the look was in her eyes,
you never know what might be found there.
She was dancing right in time and the moves she made so fine
like the music that surrounds her.
Should I stay or go? I really wanna know.
Would I lose or win if I try and love again?

Oh o-o-o-oh, gonna try and love again.
O-oh o-o-o-oh, I'm gonna try and love again.
O-oh o-o-o-oh gonna try and love.

Right or wrong, what's done is done.
It's only moments that you borrow.
But the thoughts will linger on of the lady and her song
when the sun comes up tomorrow.
Well, it might take years to see through all these tears.
Don't let go, when you find it you will know.

Oh o-o-o-oh, gonna try and love again.
O-oh o-o-o-oh, gonna try and love again.
O-oh o-o-o-oh, gonna try and love again. O-OH O-O-O-OH
O-OH O-O-O-OH sometimes lose, sometimes win,
sometimes you need a friend
O-OH O-O-O-OH, O-OH O-O-O-OH
Gonna try
gonna try
gonna try gonna try gonna try gonna try
gonna try gonna try gonna try gonna try
gonna try gonna try gonna try gonna try
gonna try
gonna try gonna try gonna try gonna try
gonna try gonna try gonna try gonna try
gonna try gonna try gonna try gonna try
gonna try
(fade out)

Well, baby, there you stand
with your little head down in your hand.
Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again.
Your baby's gone and you're all alone and it looks like the end.

And you're back out on the street
and you're tryin' to remember.
How do you start it over? You don't know if you can.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch but you can't hold your man.

You never thought you'd be alone
this far down the line
and I know what's been on your mind,
you're afraid it's all been wasted time.

The autumn leaves have got you thinking
about the first time that you fell.
You didn't love the boy too much,
no no, you just loved the boy too well.
Farewell.

So you live from day to day
and you dream about tomorrow, oh.
And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay.
So ya take a little something to make them go away.

And I could have done so many things, baby,
if I could only stop my mind
from wond'rin' what I left behind
and from worryin' 'bout this wasted time.

Ooh, another love had come and gone.
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on.
I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:
sometimes to keep it together we got to leave it alone.

So you can get on with your search, baby,
and I can get on with mine.
And maybe someday we will find
that it wasn't really wasted time.

There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar.
Great expectations, everybody's watching you.
People you meet they all seem to know you,
even your old friends treat you like you're something new.

Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town,
everybody loves you, so don't let them down.

You look in her eyes, the music begins to play.
Hopeless romantics, here we go again.
But after a while you're looking the other way.
It's those restless hearts that never mend.

Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town,
will she still love you when you're not around?

There's so many things you should have told her
but night after night you're willing to hold her,
just hold her tears on your shoulder.

There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you
that it doesn't really matter which side you're on.
You're walking away and they're talking behind you.
They will never forget you till somebody new comes along.

Where you been lately? There's a new kid in town.
Everybody loves him, don't they? Now he's holding her
and you're still around, oh my my.
There's a new kid in town,
just another new kid in town.

Oo-hoo, everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town.
Oo-hoo, everybody's walking like the new kid in town.
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN I don't want to hear it
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN I don't want to hear it
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN everybody's talking
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN people started walking
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN (repeat & fade)

He was a hard-headed man he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up and he held for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless said he was crude
They had one thing in common
They were good in bed
She said, 'Faster, faster.
'The lights are turning red.'

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane

Are you with me so far?

Eager for action hot for the game
The calling attraction the drop of the name
They knew all the right people
They took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties
They paid heavenly 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 lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane

Glowing and burning blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign
Took a turn for the worse
She said, 'Listen baby. You can hear the engine rev.
'We've up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddamn thing.'
He said, 'Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash.'
'The doctor say he's coming but you gotta pay in cash.'
They were rushing down that freeway,
Messed around and got lost
They didn't care they were just dieing to get off and it was

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
