The Grateful Dead — West L.A. Fadeaway

[Verse 1] I'm looking for a chateau, 21 rooms but one will do [x2] I don't want to buy it I just want to rent it for a dollar or two I met an old mistake walking down the street today [x2] I didn't want to be mean about it I didn't have one good thing to say [Chorus] West L.A. fadeaway, West L.A. fadeaway Little red light on the highway, big green light on the speedway [Verse 2] I had a steady job holding items for the mob [x2] Know the pay's pathetic It's a shame those boys couldn't be more copacetic [Chorus] [Verse 3] I need a West L.A. girl, already know what I need to know [x2] 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
