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

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

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

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
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 hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes, they glow in the dark
And I'm there with you and it's a not-a
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 ElDorado Street
At the county 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 sitting here playing Russian Roulette
With my pearle handled gun
The county won't give me any more Methadone

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

Chorus
Oh Carmelita why you been gone so long
I've been sittin' here starin' out the window
Huggin' on the telephone
I've been searchin' my mind tryin' hard to find
Somethin' that I did wrong
Oh Carmelita why you been gone so long
I called your mama and your sister
I even called your daddy too
He said listen here mister yeah this one's up to you
He said you know I love my baby
But she's hard headed like her mom
I've already fought that battle now yours has just begun
Chorus
Oh Carmelita why you been gone so long
I've been sittin' here starin' out the window
Huggin' on the telephone
I've been searchin' my mind tryin' hard to find
Somethin' that I did wrong
Oh Carmelita why you been gone so long
You know you really got me shook up
Yeah you really cut me down to size
But I'm never gonna give up til I look you in the eyes
And I hear your explanation
And you seal it with a kiss
It's gonna take a ton of your lovin' to get me over this
Chorus

Non si nasce
Non si vive
Senza nome
Nessuno sa chi sei
Un ponte come casa
Topi nelle tue notti
Domani e' un'altro giorno ti aspettano
Fuoco nemico e ronde padane
Senza casco
Dodici ore
Per due soldi
Forse lavorerai
Un futuro cosi'
Non lo avevi sognato
Questa italia ti accogliera'
Frontiere aperte razzismo di stato
Senza acqua
Senza pane
Coi pidocchi
Come eravamo noi
Ti ricordi i "forbidden"
Ai cani e agli italiani
Quanto e' lungo un giorno senza pane
Cos'e' il razzismo lo hai dimenticato
Unione europea
Questo cuore malato
L'egoismo e' la tua religione

Handsome Carmelito and the one they call Vandito
Rode fiery horses through the snow
Snow covered hills, snow covered miles
Miles and miles of traveling to go
And they were wild and free
Happy as could be in America
They were wild and free
Everything to see in America, America
Late one night by a little fire and a lot of booze
Dito woke up Lito from a snooze
He said, "Now my friend I must confess, I pulled off her dress
And had the time of my life with your wife"
Oh, we were wild and free
Happy as could be in America
Oh no, we were wild and free
What will be, will be in America, America
Blood was spilt, Carmelito felt no guilt
Justice had fallen like the snow
The ground was red, the ground was white
And blue was the color of the sky
He was wild and free
Happy as could be in America
Oh he was wild and free
Better him than me in America, America
Carmelito

I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in Encenada
And I'm here in Echo Park

I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
I pawned my Smith-Corona
And I went to meet my man

In holy lands beneath the sun
where the floers rise in spring
lives my mother on the holy throne,
she wants to be the queen
The queen over darkness and hate
and creatures of the night
but I will think it's too late
your life goes ever on and on
[Pre]
Out from the door where it began
No far ahead your life has gone
[Chorus]
but she can see deeper in your soul,
and she can take, the illusions in your soul
but she can see deeper in your soul,
she takes the illusions in your soul... illusions in your soul
Through here at journey's end she lies in the dark, so deep,
believe in God, it is too late, I hope she dies
above all shadows rides the sun,
where the stars forever dwell,
I will not say your life is done, but it is still too late
[Chorus]
[Swiss-German]
Bosheit roubt dir dini Seeu
Hingerlischt stiuht dir di Verstang
für Goud u Stuber, für das machsch aus
sogar vor em Töte mauchsch du nit haut
In holy lands beneath the sun
whee the flowers rise in spring
lives my mother on the holy throne,
she wants to be the queen
