West L.A. Fadeaway - Grateful Dead

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 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

Little red light on the highway, big green light on the speedway

Got a steady job moving items for the mob

Know the pay’s pathetic

It’s a shame those boys couldn’t be more copacetic

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
