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?
