Karaoké Carmelita Warren Zevon

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 sinkin' down

And I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town

Well I'm sittin' here playin' 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 sinkin' 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 by the Pioneer Chicken stand

Carmelita

Hold me tighter

I think I'm sinkin' down

And I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town

Carmelita

Hold me tighter

I think I'm sinkin' down

And I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town
