I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes, they glow in the dark
And I married you 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 !@(%
On the outskirts of town


Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson
And I went to meet my man

He hangs out down on ElDorado Street
At the county chicken stand


Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on !@(%

On the outskirts of town

Well I'm sitting here playing Russian Roulette

With my pearle handled gun
The county won't give me any 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 !@(%
On the outskirts of town


Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on !@(%

On the outskirts of town
