intro 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 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 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 from yesterday Of misery
