The Eagles

“Every place of refuge has its price.”

“How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.Some dance to remember, some dance to forget”

“Mirrors on the ceiling,The pink champagne on iceAnd 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 beastLast thing I remember, I wasRunning for the doorI had to find the passage backTo 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 ...”

“Freeways flickering; cell phones chiming a tuneWe're riding to Utopia; road map says we'll be arriving soonCaptains of the old order clinging to the reinsAssuring us these aches inside are only growing painsBut it's a long road out of Eden(...)Behold the bitten apple, the power of the toolsBut all the knowledge in the world is of no use to foolsAnd it's a long road out of Eden”

“So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key."(Already Gone)”

“You can check out any time but you can never leave.”

“Sometimes to keep it together you've got to leave it alone."[Wasted Time]”
