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

Panhandeling misery



He¹s gonna get high

When he¹s low

The fire burns from better days

And she screams why oh why

I said I don¹t know

The catastrophic hymnes from yesterday

Of misery



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



Gina hit the road to New York City

Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked

She stopped in Vegas to elope

With Virgina and the dope

And kissed the bride eternally



And they¹re gonna get high

When they¹re low

The fire burns from better days

And he screamed why oh why

I said I don¹t know

The catastrophic hymnes from yesterday

Of misery



Hell hounds on your trail now once again..boy

It¹s groping on your leg until it sleeps

The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow

Cause it¹s not what you make... it¹s what you leave



And we¹re gonna get high

When I¹m low

The fire burns from better days

And she screams why oh why

I said I don¹t know

The catastrophic hymnes from yesterday

Of misery
