Song Lyrics

Carmelita

I hear mariachi static on my radio
The tubes they glow in the dark
There with you in Ensenada
And I`m here in Echo Park.

Carmelita, hold me tighter
Yeah, I think I`m sinking down
And I`m all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town.

Well I pawned my Smith & Wesson
And I went down to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
At the Pioneer Chicken Stand.

Carmelita, hold me tighter
Yeah, I think I`m sinking down
And I`m all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town.

Carmelita, hold me tighter
Yeah, 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
Yeah, I think I`m sinking down
And I`m all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town.

Carmelita, hold me tighter
Yeah, I think I`m sinking down
And I`m all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Oh Yeah...
