| Bm(Em) (verse) | F#7(B7) |
On a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair
| A2(D2) | E9(A9) |
warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
| G(C) | D(G) |
up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
| Em7(Am7) | F#7(B7) |
my head grew heavy & my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night
(Verse 1,2)

Verse 1,2: There I 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
Verse 2: Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She got her Mercedes Bends
She got a lot pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweet
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: (to Chorus)
Verse 3: Mirrors in 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 chamber
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 nightman
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave" (to Guitar solo)
