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 parkCarmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of townWell, I pawned my Smith and Wesson
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on El Dorado Street
At the county chicken standCarmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of townWell, I'm sitting here playing Russian Roulette
With my pearl handled gun
The county won't give me any more Methadone
And they cut off your welfare checkCarmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of townCarmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
