Carmelita

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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] out on heroin

On the outskirts of town

Well I'm sitting here [bad word] 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 [bad word] out on heroin

On the outskirts of town

Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think I'm sinking down

And I'm all [bad word] out on heroin

On the outskirts of town
