[Verse 1]

Virginia was a

 lot lizard fr

om F.L.A.
              
She had a comp

              
ound fracture 

       
in the trunk
   
It started whe

n she ran away
            
Thumbs out on 

    
the interstate
             
She hitched a 

             
ride to misery

Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident
              
He fell into t

              
he city by the

 
 bay
   
He liquidated 

his estate
            
Now he sleeps 

         
upon the Haigh

t
             
Panhandling mi

   
sery

[Chorus]
              
And he's gonna

     
 get high high

 high
          
When he's low 

low low
             
The fire burns

             
 from better d


ays
              
And she scream

   
s "why, oh why

?"
        
I said "I don'

t know"
            
The catastroph

             
ic hymns from 


yesterday
           
Of misery

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
              
And they're go

        
nna get high h

igh high
             
When they're l


ow low low
             
The fire burns

             
 from better d


ays
              
And she scream

   
s "why, oh why

?"
        
I said "I don'

t know"
            
The catastroph

             
ic hymns from 


yesterday
           
Of misery

[Bridge]
             
Hell hounds on

             
 your trail no

        
w once again b

oy
             
It's groping o

             
n your leg unt

        
il it sleeps
             
The emptiness 

             
will fill your

        
 soul with sor

row
             
'Cause it's no

e it's what yo
