8 - there she stood in the doorway
10 - i heard the mission bell
13 - i was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
17 - then she lit up the candle and she showed me the way
7 - CHORUS
19 - she got the mercedes benz
3 - she got a lot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends, how they dance in the courtyard
4 - so i called up the captain, please bring me my wine
9 - wake u up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
12 - CHORUS
5 - mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
14 - we are all just prisoners here of our own device
1 - in their master's chamber they gathered for the feast
16 - stabbed it with their steely knives but they just cant kill the beast
15 - last thing i remember, i was running for the door, i had to find the passage back to the place i was before
18 - relax, said the nightman, we are programmed to receive

Please attribute reader questions to whoever submitted it. Also, if you know a question is not original, please do not post it. This question is actually from a webcomic, and unless it was submitted by the webcomic owner, it is most likely not original.

This is a good one... I remember this one from back when I read this particular Abstruse Goose strip :).

These are the lyrics of "Hotel California". IMO, the question should have ended here. Figuring out the correct order is just grunt work after someone figures out what the panels are about.
