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 I went to meet my man He hangs out down on Alvarado Street At 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 deck 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
