i peered through the glass from the window outside to see my old hound fight a dog twice his size he scratched and he bit did the best that he could but his opponent answered each shot so diddly doh good and then i saw blood on the pad of his paw and i hurried right in to save his locking glass jaw but he just got up and said as long as i can see take me off to the drag pit i got a message for jimmy take me off to the drag pit i got a message for jimmy so i crouched down for a while and grew tired into the sea when someone grabbed my suitcase and ran down the street i chased down that stranger tryna keep him in sight but soon he just vanished inside the black blurry night and i cursed that thief but i cursed myself more i was out my good clothes and the keys to my door and i was fulla some demons i just had to let free so take me off to the drag pit i got a message for jimmy take me off to the drag pit i got a message for jimmy the place where i m livin is alright for now it s right in the city but quiet somehow and it s been that way since ol franklin expired he made his bed neatly one day and then set it on fire and i remember when we met he shook my hand of it s life he was building a menstrual chef for his wife determined to not deal in words or disease so take me off to the drag pit i got some fight left in me so take me off to the drag pit i got some fight left in me oh take me off to the drag pit i got a message for jimmy so take me off to the drag pit i got a message for jimmy
