The fleeing gang was roughed up and beat
While running in the dark of night they had to fish and eat
The brigands complained...we need them lechers to bait the jig!
Then they ate, played ball, slide and tag

The gang became thirsty for a sweet blessed drink
Another generic reference to filling a sink
If they would have gone North and hitched to a certain tree
They could map the escape route then Jesse would flee

After running about to 4 weird locations, Jesse was red hot and needed direction
He yelled his ancient name and a City employee appeared

Connect 1 to 3 and 2 to 4 then head to the garage and stay to the rear
