Murder, Tonight, In The Trailer Park
Murder tonight in the trailer park
Mrs. Annabelle Evans found
with her throat cut after dark
Her pockets turned inside out
her dresser drawers turned upside down
Annas neighbour, Peg, identifies the body
lets out a hollow kind of sound
Homicide is tying yellow ribbons
around her silver Airstream
Red cherries slashing up the night
cutting through that cordoned crime scene
Theres been a murder
in the trailer park tonight
Murder tonight in the trailer park
Pack your things Ann Marie,
were heading west
were going to make a fresh start
Ive been saving pennies ,
been looking forward to this day
No time for questions are you coming
or are you going to stay?
Crosstown at the Waterton
George Evans is sitting tall and tight,
buying drinks for all the regulars
bragging about how them bones
danced for him tonight
Theres been a murder
in the trailer park tonight
Murder tonight in the trailer park
Faceless man counting crumpled bills,
hotel neon fights the dark
TV set in the corner, theyre talking murder
on the late-night news
He turns down the sound,
waits for the sports ,
he only wants to know,
Did I win or did I lose
Theres been a murder
in the trailer park tonight
Murder tonight in the trailer park
