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
By 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

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

I think i’m sinking down
And i’m all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Down along the railroad track
I ran into my old friend Jack
He was dressed in his Sunday best
but his face was mad and his eyes was a daze

He said `I lost Marina
and the last place that I’d seen her
she was making off
with my best friend’

I took him to the water
I spent fifty dollars
on something that would take him to the moon

Well he must have gone to heaven
cuz just before I left him
I tried to wake him up
but he would not move

So come on Carmelita,
you drunk too much
and I can see that
soon you’re gonna need a breath of air

We’ll dance across the wheatfields
There’s a place I know just east of here
It wouldn’t take too long to (____?)

We’ll sleep out on the ground
and in the morning when we wake up
we’ll leave town

And I picked my last tobacco leaf
Soaking wet up to my knees
out there before the sun has (arise?)

You can have a drink of water
but don’t you look at my daughter
or I’ll come down there and cut you with this knife

So come on Carmelita
You drunk too much
and I can see that
soon you’re gonna need a breath of air

We’ll dance across the wheatfields
There’s a place I know just east of here
It wouldn’t take too long to (____?)

We’ll sleep out on the ground
and in the morning when we wake up
we’ll leave town

There ain’t any flat man
but if you are a black man
they’ll put you on a plane
back from where you’re from

We’ll sleep out on the ground
and in the morning when we wake up
we’ll leave town
