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
