Carmelita

I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And Im there with her in
EnsenadaAnd
Im here in
Echo ParkCarmelita hold me tighter
I think Im sinking down
And Im all strung out on ******
On the outskirts of town
Well, Im sittin here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county wont give me no more methadone
They cut off your welfare check
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think Im sinking down
And Im 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 Im sinking down
And Im all strung out on ******
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think Im sinking down
And Im all strung out on ******
On the outskirts of town
