Lyrics Carmelita - Live - Willy DeVille

I hear mariachi music on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
I'm with you in ensenada
Now I'm stucking in echo park

Carmelita, hold me tighter
Ameli 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 on alvarado street
At the pioneer chicken stand

Carmelita, hold me tighter
Carmelita I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Carmelita, hold me tighter
Carmelita 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 don't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check

Carmelita, hold me tighter
Ameli I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Carmelita, hold me tighter
Ameli I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Yeah
I'm so strung on the outskirts of town
Yeah
Im so strung,
I'm so strung
On the outskirts of town
