Adam Duritz - Carmelita lyrics

rate me

Well, I hear mariachi static on my radio<br />

And the tubes they glow in the dark<br />

And I'm there with her in Ensenada<br />

And I'm here in Echo Park<br />

<br />

Carmelita, hold me tighter<br />

I think I'm sinking down<br />

And I'm all strung out on heroin<br />

On the outskirts of town<br />

<br />

Well I'm sittin' here playing solitaire<br />

With my pearl handled deck<br />

The county won't give me no more methadone<br />

And they cut off your welfare check<br />

<br />

Carmelita, hold me tighter<br />

I think I'm sinking down<br />

And I'm all strung out on heroin<br />

On the outskirts of town<br />

<br />

Well I pawned my Smith Corona<br />

And I went to meet my man<br />

He hangs out down on Alvarado Street<br />

At the Pioneer Chicken stand<br />

<br />

Carmelita, hold me tighter<br />

I think I'm sinking down<br />

And I'm all strung out on heroin<br />

On the outskirts of town<br />

<br />

Carmelita, hold me tighter<br />

I think I'm sinking down<br />

And I'm all strung out on heroin<br />

On the outskirts of town
