Los Lobos - West L.A. Fadeaway Lyrics

I'm looking for a chateau, 21 rooms but one will do
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 an hour 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 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 hauling items for the mob
I had a steady job hauling items for the mob
Know the pay was pathetic
It's a shame those boys couldn't be more copacetic

I need a west LA girl, already know what I need to know
I need a west LA girl, already know what I need to know
Lord, just how far to go

West LA fadeaway, west LA fadeaway
Little red light on the highway, big green light on the speedway hey, hey, hey

I'm looking for a chateau, 21 rooms but one will do
I'm looking for a chateau, 21 rooms but one will do
I don't want to rent it
I just want to use it for a minute or two

West LA fadeaway, west LA fadeaway
Little red light on the highway, big green light on the speedway hey, hey, hey
