Virginia was a lot lizard from F.L.A.
She had a compound fracture in the trunk
It started when she ran away

Thumbs out on the interstate
She hitched a ride to misery


Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident
He fell into the city by the bay
He liquidated his estate

Now he sleeps upon the Haight
Panhandling misery


And he's gonna get high high high
When he's low low low
The fire burns from better days

And she screams why oh why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday

Of misery

Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam

He ran the drug cartel in Tinsel town
They found him in a cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat in the name

Of misery

Gina hit the road to New York City

Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
She stopped in Vegas to elope
With Virginia and the dope

And kissed the bride eternally

And they're gonna get high high high

When they're low low low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams why oh why

I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery


Hell hounds on your trail now once again boy
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps

The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
'Cause it's not what you make it's what you leave


And we're gonna get high high high
When I'm low low low
The fire burns from better days

And she screams why oh why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday

Of misery
