Running for the door

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!”
Taken from the iconic song Hotel California by American band The Eagles, from their self-titled album in 1977.

Taken from the song ‘Sunday Morning’ by The Velvet Underground & Nico, from their self-titled album
