Carmelita

I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with you in Ensenada
But I'm here in Echo Park

My 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 & Wesson
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By a Pioneer chicken stand

My 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

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

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