Verse
Am E7 On a dark desert highway,cool wind in my hair
G D Warm smell of colitasrising up through the air
F C Up ahead in the distance,I saw a shimmering light
Dm My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E7 I had to stop for the night
Am E7 There she stood in the doorway;I heard the mission bell
G And I was thinking to myself
DThis could be heaven or this could be hell
F C Then she lit up a candle,and she showed me the way
Dm There were voices down the corridor,
E7 I thought I heard them say...

Am E7 Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
G D She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
F C How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Dm E7 Some dance to remember,some dance to forget
Am E7 So I called up the captain;Please bring me my wine (he said)

E7 Just to hear them say...

Am E7 Mirrors on the ceiling;the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
G D We are all just prisoners here,of our own device
F C And in the master's chambers,they gathered for the feast
Dm They stab it with their steely knives but they
E7 just can't kill the beast
Am E7 Last thing I remember, I wasrunning for the door

E7 But you can never leave...
