Lyrics Cowboy Junkies – Murder, Tonight, In The Trailer Park
Text:
Murder tonight in the trailer park
Mrs. Annabelle Evans found
with her throat cut after dark
Her pockets turned inside out
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,
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
