Murder, Tonight, in the Trailer Park Cowboy Junkies 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
Crosstown at the Watertown 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
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 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 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?
Murder, tonight, in the trailer park
