The Eagles Hotel California

the song with new words

In great blind needy trending, thoughts cool to my mind;

warm tales of deception, from people being kind

as they grew from my birthstart, I saw their lie-spinning light

my head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

excitement stood in the doorway, I heard her mission bell

and I was thinking to myself she could be heaven or she could be hell

so with much dissipation, she showed me her way

there were voices down life's corridors I thought I heard them say

welcome to the spirits of excitement

such a mindless place

such a mindless place

such a special case

there's plenty of room in the spirits of excitement

in work love or rest

in work love or rest

you will find contest.

 

Her mind so brilliantly twisted, controls proud working men

drives a lot of sexy boys and girls she calls friends

so they dance in her courtyard of pain and regret

some dance to remember some dance to forget

so I called the Captain, please turn me to wine

he said we havent had that faith lost here since number seven fine

and still those voices mock us from far away

wake you up in the middle of your troubles just to hear them say

welcome to the spirits of excitement

such a mindless place

such a mindless place

such a special case

their living it up in the spirits of excitement

such well hidden lies

such well hidden lies

make great alibis.

(such well hidden threats

such well hidden threats

make you hedge your bets)

 

Reflecting on her way, dilutes truth with ice

with her say: we are all just prisoners here of our own device.

and in her master's mind-court, some seek a deadly tool

stab ego with new ideas but the master is no fool

 

Last thing I remember i was running for the door

I had to find my passage back to the sanity I knew before

Relax said the pain pusher were programmed to deceive

you can check out any time you like but can you ever

leave?

 

Author's Note

Maybe not perfect for singing, but that was the intention
Instead of lie-spinning light shimmering light would suffice since lies is mentioned elsewhere. Shimmering: unsteady, unreliable, shifty. I tried to indicate 'nightman' or 'night' is about trouble in ones life but maybe overdid it. Some words like 'excitement stood in the doorway' I feel are necessary or full meaning is lost.
As a song it could end with 'leave' extended. The music in the original to me speaks of lives of trouble and repetition, stressful misery.
