Carmelita Lyrics - Genius: Best Of Warren Zevon - Warren Zevon

I hear Mariachi static on my radio 

And the tubes they glow in the dark 

BUT YOU'RE THERE in Ensenada 

And I'm STUCK 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
