I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes, they glow in the dark
And I`m there with you and it`s a not-a
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 ElDorado 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 pearle 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
