"Murder, Tonight, in the Trailer Park" Lyrics

Page 1


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

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 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

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
