Misery Virginia was a lot lizard from FLA 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 (Chorus) And he's gonna get high When he's low The fire burns from better days And she screams why I said I don't know The catastrophic hymns of 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 Virginia and the dope And kissed the bride eternally
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
