Carmelita Lyrics by Warren Zevon

Carmelita Lyrics

    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 sittin' here playing solitaire
    With my pearl-handled deck
    The 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

    Well, 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

    Carmelita hold me tighter
    I think I'm sinking down
    And I'm all strung out on heroin
    On the outskirts of town
