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
I m more dope than heroin, sharper than a needle
I m more dope than heroin, sharper than a needle
Maybe I m a loveboy, hooked on an aphrodisiac
Maybe I m a strange one, maybe I m a twisted maniac
Hey, you never can tell
Maybe you can touch...
Beautiful flowers in your garden,
but the most beautiful by far,
the one growing wild in the garbage dump,
even here, even here we are
Song of the bird way up in the sky,
but the most beautiful by far,
the scream of the man who never learned to fly,
even here, even here...
