Carmelita

I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in
EnsenadaAnd
I'm here in
Echo ParkCarmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on ******
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
They cut off your welfare check
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on ******
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
By the Pioneer chicken stand
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on ******
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on ******
On the outskirts of town
