Carmelita Songtext
von Mink DeVille

I hear mariachi music on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And was with you in Ensenada
And I′m stuck here in Echo Park

My Carmelita, hold me tighter
I believe I'm sinking down
And I′m so 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 Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer Chicken stand

My Carmelita, hold me tighter
I believe I'm sinking down
And I'm so strung out on Heroin
On the outskirts of town


My Carmelita, hold me tighter
I believe I′m sinking down
And I′m so 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

My Carmelita, hold me tighter
I believe I′m sinking down
And I'm so strung out on Heroin
On the outskirts of town

My Carmelita, hold me tighter
I believe I′m sinking down
And I'm so strung out on Heroin
On the outskirts of town

Yeah I'm so strung out
On the outskirts of town

Yeah I′m so strung out, so strung out, so strong out
On the outskirts of town
