Counting Crows is a rock band that became extremely popular in 1993 following the release of their debut album "August and Everything After" featuring the hit song "Mr. Jones." The band was formed by singer Adam Duritz and guitarist David Bryson (both former members of The Himalayans) in San Francisco in 1991. Counting Crows originally performed as an acoustic duo, playing gigs in and around Berkeley and San Francisco. After adding other members, the band was signed to Geffen Records. Counting Crows, with their intimate and melancholy approach, quickly achieved a large fan base among Generation X alternative rock fans who were looking for something different from the raging guitars of the Seattle music scene.

Carmelita Lyrics
Counting Crows
Well, I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And Im there with her in ensenada
And Im here in echo park
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think Im sinking down...
And Im all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well Im sittin here playing solitaire
With my pearl handled deck
The county wont give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think Im sinking down...
And Im 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 Im sinking down
And Im all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think Im sinking down
And Im all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
