Grateful Dead - West L.A. Fadeaway lyrics

I'm looking for a chateau, 21 rooms but one will do

I don't want to buy it

I just want to rent it for a minute or two

I met an old mistake walking down the street today

I met an old mistake walking down the street today

I didn't want to be mean about it

I couldn't think of one good thing to say.

West L.A. fadeaway, West L.A. fadeaway

Big red lite on the highway, little green lite on the freeway.

Got a steady job moving items for the mob

Got a steady job moving items for the mob

Know the pay's pathetic

It's a shame those boys couldn't be more copasetic

West L.A. fadeaway, West L.A. fadeaway

Big red lite on the highway, little green lite on the freeway.

I need a West L.A. girl, already know what I need to know

I need a West L.A. girl, already know what I need to know

Lord, just how far to go.

West L.A. fadeaway, here's one chance you say.

She tries to live by the Golden Rule.

Said you treat other people right,

Other people probably treat you cool
