I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with 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 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 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
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

[Blunderov] Great lyric from W.Z. I think this one is extraordinary too.
Very bitter tho'.
Best Regards.
'Who Are You.'
Written by Tom Waits/K Brennan
(From the CD 'Bone Machine')
They're lining up
To mad dog your tilta whirl,
3 shots for a dollar
Win a real live doll.
All the lies that you tell
I believed them so well. Take them back
Take them back to your red house
For that fearful leap into the dark.
I did my time in the jail of your arms
Now Ophelia wants to know
Where she should turn.
Tell me...what did you do,
What did you do the last time?...
Why don't you do that?
Go on ahead take this the wrong way
Time's not your friend.
Do you cry? Do you pray?
Do you wish them away?
Do you still leave nothing
But bones in the way?
Did you bury the carnival
Lions and all?
Excuse me while I sharpen my nails.
And just who are you this time?
You look rather tired
(Who drinks from your shoe?)
Are you pretending to love?
Well I hear that it pays well.
How do your pistol and your bible and your
Sleeping pills go?
Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?
Well I fell in love
With your sailor's mouth and your wounded eyes.
You better get down on the floor
Don't you know this is war?
Tell me who are you this time?
Tell me who are you this time?
