Rachel Stamp - Carmelita Lyrics
I hear mariachi static on my radioAnd the tubes they glow in the darkAnd I'm there with her in EncenadaAnd I'm here in Echo ParkCarmelita, hold me tighterI think I'm sinking downAnd I'm all strung out on heroinOn the outskirts of townI pawned my Smith-CoronaAnd I went to meet my manHe hangs out down on Alvarado StreetBy the Pioneer Chicken standCarmelita, hold me tighterI think I'm sinking downAnd I'm all strung out on heroinOn the outskirts of townWell, I'm sitting here playing solitaireWith my pearl-handled deckThis county won't give me no more methadoneAnd they cut off your welfare checkCarmelita, hold me tighterI think I'm sinking downAnd I'm all strung out on heroinOn the outskirts of town
