Carmelita
20. august 2020I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I’m there with her in Ensenada
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’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 checkCarmelita 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 Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer chicken standCarmelita 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
