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.

Anna's neighbor, 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.

There's been a murder in the trailer park tonight.

Pack your things, Ann Marie, we're heading

west, we're gonna make a fresh start.

I've been saving pennies,

been looking forward to this day.

No time for questions, are you coming

or are you gonna 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.

There's been a murder in the trailer park tonight.

Murder tonight in the trailer park.

Faceless man counting crumpled bills,

hotel neon fights the dark.

T.V. set in the corner, they're 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?"

There's been a murder in the trailer park tonight.
