Carmelita Lyrics - Counting Crows

Well, I hear mariachi static on my radio 

And the tubes they glow in the dark 

And I'm there with her in ensenada 

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'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 

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 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 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
