a.s. fanning - carmeltia lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
we walked round
like zombies in the burying grounds
like vultures in the sky watch a dying man
in the right city
right on the wrong side of town
like ghosts we don’t make a sound

[verse 2]
i kept quite i didn’t care to feel your light
and with the black madonna as my guide
with the wild demon jesus running by my side
i didn’t care to feel your light

[chorus]
oh carmelita hold me tighter
does mary pray for us
when we’re all strung out on heroin
sitting down the back of the bus

[verse 3]
feel no pain
everything is right as rain
this city seems to know my name
she opens up her legs and opening her vein
shines a light for me again

[verse 4]
feel no more i do not care to fight that war
in a sordid leather jacket kneeling on the floor
for forty minutes dying and forty years more
i do not care to fight that war

[chorus]
oh carmelita hold me tighter
does mary pray for us
when we’re all strung out on heroin
sitting at the back of the bus

[verse 5]
there’s pretty girls on the boardwalk tonight
pick up your cans of cider boys line up to the right
they hitch up there skirts they’ll drink till they fight
and i won’t look away
all alone and divided we stand
with the marks of carelessness blackened in our hands
i don’t know no i don’t understand
but i won’t walk away

[verse 6]
feel no more i do not care to fight that war
in a sordid leather jacket kneeling on the floor
for forty minutes dying and forty f-cking years more
but the rats in the road
and the leeches at the door
at eight in the morning man i can’t help you score
i do not care to fight that war

[chorus]
oh carmelita hold me tighter
does mary pray for us
when we’re all strung out on heroin
sitting at the back of the bus

[chorus]
oh carmelita hold me tighter
does mary pray for us
when we’re all strung out on heroin
sitting at the back of the bus
