Carmelita Songtext

von Willy DeVille

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Carmelita" von Willy DeVille erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der mit Sucht und Depressionen zu kämpfe...

I hear mariachi music on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with you in Ensenada
And I'm stuck here in Echo Park

Carmelita, hold me tighter
I believe I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
At the Pioneer Chicken stand

Carmelita, hold me tighter
I believe 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 believe I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Carmelita, hold me tighter
I believe I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
