Carmelita

well, i hear mariachi static on my radio

And the tubes they glow in the dark

And i'm there with her in ensenada

And i'm here in echo park



Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think i'm sinking down...

And i'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town



Well i'm sittin' here playing solitaire

With my pearl handled deck

The county won't give me no more methadone

And they cut off your welfare check



Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think i'm sinking down...

And i'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town



Well i pawned my smith corona

And i went to meet my man

He hangs out down on alvarado street

At the pioneer chicken stand



Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think i'm sinking down

And i'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town



Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think i'm sinking down

And i'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town
