on and on the music plays

When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough alright Some dance to remember, some dance to forget So I called up the Captain through the wastelands evermore He said We're banished from a time in a fallen land since nineteen sixty nine

In your darkest dreams those voices are calling from far away And endlessly in the middle of the night I thought I heard them say

we wait for the day For the lives all so wasted and gone We feel the livin' it up at the Hotel California Any time of year we carry on

As the red day is dawning pink champagne on ice We are all just prisoners here With resentment in their eyes And in the master's chambers we watch them as they go Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel But they just can't kill the beast

Running back through the mid-morning light There's a burning in my heart I had to find the passage back to the place I was before I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can For the freedom of every man

So now we fly ever free so far beyond reality On towards the wilderness our quest carries on “Relax,” said the night man “We are programmed to receive You can check-out any time you like But endlessly this misery must go on
