| 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 county 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 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 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 |
