 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: 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)
