And the tubes they glow in the dark
And Im there with her in ensenada
And Im here in echo park
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think Im sinking down...
And Im all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well Im sittin here playing solitaire
With my pearl handled deck
The county wont give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think Im sinking down...
And Im 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
At the pioneer chicken stand
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think Im sinking down
And Im all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think Im sinking down
And Im all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
