Reminds me of Hotel California...

My journey into vintage Rolex world on this forum reminds me of Hotel California...here's a rendition to say thanks:)

On the dark cyber highway, cool wind through the maze
Warm smell of metal, rising up to my face
Up ahead in the distance, I saw this Rolex place
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There miss vintage stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
’this could be heaven and this could be swell’
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
She was tick ticking away,
I thought I heard her say...

Welcome to Rolex mania
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of choice at this vintage Rolex place
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her face is tropically-twisted, she got the mercedes hands
She got pretty, pretty markers, that she calls friends
How they all dance on the dial, sweet summer treat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to reterat....

Last thing I remember, I was
Running outta sight
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said this Rolex forum,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

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 face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
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 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 california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors 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 feast
The 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

The mind can be a dark place...Lay off the caffeine or switch to Green tea.
