 Bm                        F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind 
in my hair
A                     E
Warm smell of colitas rising up 
through the air
G                         D
Up ahead in the distance, i saw a 
shimmering light
Em
My head grew heavy and my sight grew
 dim
F#
I had to stop for the night

 Bm                               
There she stood in the doorway;  i 
F#
heard the mission bell
A                                 
And i was thinking to myself this 
         E
could be heaven or this could be 
hell
G                        D
Then she lit up a candle, and she 
showed me the way
Em                                
There were voices down the 
   F#
corridor, i thought i heard them say

(1)any time of year (any time of 
                F#
year) you can find it here
(2)what a nice surprise (what a nice
 surprise) bring your alibis

Her mind is tiffany twisted, she got
 the mercedes bends
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."
"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

(chorus - with ending 2)

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 nightman, "we are 
programmed to receive"
"you can check out anytime you like,
 but you can never leave"
