intertextuality

welcome to the Hotel California*.
man, it's got everything!
you can't even wrap
your head around
the crazy stuff
that goes down here.

day or night,
people are up to
all sorts of things
that would make the Eagles blush.

so, welcome to the Hotel California.

girl, you're just 22,
but you've already seen more
than I could've imagined
at your age.

all thanks to this place,
this damn hotel.

I've poured five bottles
of top-shelf whiskey
down the drain
just to drown out
the call of the Hotel California,
to ignore its seductive lights
and the wild scene by the pool…

because here,
it's like anything goes,
it's all anonymous,
all because you bought into
that damn membership.

and it doesn't matter
if you try to bail early
from the party,
deep down, you know they'll
never let you leave.

there's only one way out,
and it's not a pretty sight…

what the hell are they up to?
why aren't you fighting back?

because, let's face it,
you're into it.
because the Hotel California,
has become your home.
