As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. --
William O. Douglas
The Eagles On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air.Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light. My head grew heavy and my sight grew dimI had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bellAnd 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... Welcome to the Hotel CaliforniaSuch a lovely place (Such a lovely place Such a lovely facePlenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (Any time of year) You can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friendsHow they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forgetSo 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... Welcome to the Hotel CaliforniaSuch a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise (what a nice suprise) Bring your alibisMirrors 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 feastThey 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 night man, 'We are programmed to receive. You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave!'
I am not annoying at all. In fact most people come to me for advice. Of course they annoy the hell out of me. But what can I do? I am smarter than most people.
