Carmelita Lyrics

I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I`m there with you 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 pawned my Smith and Wesson
And went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By 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

Well I`m sittin` here playing solitaire
With my pearl handled Derr`
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

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