Letra de Carmelita

I 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 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'm sitting here playing solitaire With my pearl-handled deck This county won't give me no 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 I pawned my Smith-Corona And I went to meet my man He hangs out down on Alvarado Street By the Pioneer 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
