Carmelita Lyrics

Wildhearts Carmelita

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
