"West L.A. Fadeaway" Songtext
von Grateful Dead

Looking for a château, 21 rooms but one will do
Looking for a château, 21 rooms but one will do
I don′t want to buy it
I just wanna rent it for a dollar 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 wanna be mean about it, but I
I didn′t have one good word to say

West LA fadeaway
West LA fadeaway
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway, hey-hey-hey

I had a steady job, holding items for the mob
I had a steady job, holding items for the mob
Know the pay was pathetic
It's a shame those boys couldn't be more copasetic


I need a West LA girl, already know what need to know
I need a West LA girl, already know what I need to know
Name out just before love could go, just how far to go

Well, West LA fadeaway
West LA fadeaway
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway, hey-hey-hey

Looking for a château, 21 rooms but one will do
Looking for a château, 21 rooms but one will do
I don′t wanna rent it
I just want to use it for a minute or two

Well, West LA fadeaway
West LA fadeaway
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
