       On a dark desert highway               cool wind in my hair         
    
     | A2(D2)                               | E9(A9)                           |
       warm smell of colitas                  rising up through the air

       up ahead in the distance              I saw a shimmering light

      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)
