La Brea Tar Pits

I was jumping the jungles, there was nothing to find
No mastodons, so that I could be the guy that provides
With empty hands, I headed on home
Live long enough you gonna choke on a bone
Hey hey

Hey hey
That's just the way that it goes 

Now I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
And I don't want to die 'cause there's still so much to give
I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
Want to make an escape but don't know where to begin 

Each time I wriggle I sink a little deeper, ah damn
So let me try to persuade you all to lend me a hand

Good with a spear and settling fights
Do anything for the good of the tribe
Hey hey
Could you throw me a rope?
(Throw me a rope)

'Cause I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
And I don't want to die 'cause there's still so much to give
I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
Want to make an escape but don't know where to begin
