ELECTION - USA, November 2020. A TAPESTRY inspired by the EAGLES "Hotel California"

 



HOTEL CALIFORNIA - 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 a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night


There she 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

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place, such a lovely place






Such a lovely face




Plenty of room at the Hotel California


Any time of year (any time of year)

You can find it here


Her mind is Tiffany-twisted (mind twisted with materialism and status)

She got the Mercedes Benz

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys

That she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard




Sweet summer sweat

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 1969"



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 California

Such a lovely place, such a lovely place



Such a lovely face

They living it up at the Hotel California



What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)

Bring your alibis


Mirrors on the ceiling

The pink champagne on ice




And she said, "We are all prisoners here of our own device"

And in the master's chambers





Joe and Kamala



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 night man

"We are programmed to receive



You can check out any time you like




But you can never leave"





LONG LIVE DEMOCRACY.

LONG MAY SHE/HE REIGN.


Will Malaysia pick up a few tips and hints on the theory and practice of Democracy in the West?
