Lyrics Grateful Dead – West L.A. Fadeaway

Looking for a chateau
Twenty one rooms but one will do
Looking for a chateau
Twenty one rooms but one will do

Met an old mistake
Walking down the street today
Met an old mistake
Walking down the street today
I didn’t want to be mean about it
But I, I didn’t have one good word to say

West L.A. fade-away
West L.A. fade-away
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway, hey, hey, hey

I had a steady job
Hauling items for the mob
I had a steady job
Hauling items for the mob

You know the pay was pathetic
It’s a shame those boys couldn’t be more copacetic

I met a west L.A. girl
Already know what I need to know
I met a west L.A. girl
Already know what I need to know
Name, address and phone number, Lord
And just how far to go

West L.A. fade-away
West L.A. fade-away

Looking for a chateau
Twenty one rooms but one will do
Looking for a chateau
Twenty one rooms but one will do
I don’t want to rent it
I just what to use it for a minute or two

West L.A. fade-away
West L.A. fade-away
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway, hey, hey, hey

Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway, hey, hey, hey
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway, hey, hey, hey
