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 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
|
There's been a murder
|
In the trailer park tonight
|
|
Murder tonight in the trailer park
|
Pack your things Ann Marie,
|
We're heading west
|
We're going to 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 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
|
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
|
TV 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
|
Murder tonight in the trailer park
