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
Mister 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
Well Vinnie was a hustler
out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel
in Tinseltown
They found him
in a Cadillac
Bludgeoned with
a baseball bat
In the name of misery
Then Gina hit the road
to New York City
Mysteriously the night
Vinnie croaked
She stopped in Vegas
to elope
With Virginia and the dope
that 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 screamed
why oh why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic
hymns from yesterday
of misery
Well hellhounds
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
Ah
And we're gonna
get high high high
When we're low low low
The fire burns
for better days
And she screams
why oh why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic
hymns from yesterday
of misery
