Carmelita Lyrics

Carmelita lyrics

I hear mariachi static on my radio

And the tubes, they glow in the dark

And I'm there with you and it's a not-a

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 I went to meet my man

He hangs out down on ElDorado Street

At the county 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 sitting here playing Russian Roulette

With my pearle handled gun

The county won't give me any 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
