lyrics

virginia was a lot lizard from f.l.a.
she had a compound fracture in the "trunk"
it started when she run away thumbs out 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
panhanding misery 
he's gonna get high when he's low the fire burns from better days
and she screems why oh why i said i don't 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 they're gonna get high when they're low
the fire burns from better days
and he screems why oh why i said i don't know
the catastrophic hymnes 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
because it's not what you make it's what you leave
and we're gonna get high when i'm low
the fire burns from better days
and she screems why oh why i said i don't know
the catastrophic hymnes from yesterday
of misery
