MI
I hear mariachi static on the radio
SI7
and the tubes they glow in the dark.
And I'm there with her in Encinada
MI
when I'm here in Echo Park
CHORUS
LA
Carmelita, hold me tighter
MI LA
I think I'm sinkin down.
MI SI7
And I'm all strung-out on heroin
MI
on the out--skirts of town.
MI
Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson
SI7
and I went to meet my man.
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
MI
by the Pioneer Chicken stand.
(Chorus)
MI
Well I'm sittin' here playin' russian roulet
SI7
with my pearl handled gun.
The county won't give me no more methadone
MI
and they cut off your welfare check.
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
