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

Why is everyone having a shit fit over song lyrics? This is the best song Warren ever wrote so it's in the top 10 of songs ever written. By the way, it's pawning a Smith Corona which is a typewriter, if you pawned a Smith and Wesson you'd be pawning a pistol. Can't believe the "85's"that post on these sites.Life WILL kill you

you know its not new...its just confirmation of what is ...i so admire those who can articulate what people go through,,, most are good people who are fucked up and love so much...but cant deal with what life deals...didn't mean they stopped loving those who cared...

Honestly did know much about Warren until I heard Linda Ronstadt doing several of his songs. She did this on her "Simple Dreams" album. I prefer this version; he sings this song like he knows it. I will give her a slight advantage on "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" over him; just more of a woman's song.

I actually know this song from GG Allin, he covered it and I'm happy it led me here! Great tune.

For Rosalva's sake man! -- yank that needle out your arm; scrape yourself off of the coon's chicken-stand parking lot, and get the freekin-hell out of East L.A.....while ya still can.

Most people pawn their Smith & Wesson 'cause no one knows what a Smith-Corona is anymore
