Weezer - La Brea Tar Pits lyrics

I was tromping the jungles
There was nothing to find
No mastodon so that I could
Be the guy that provides
With empty hands, I headed on home
Live long enough, you're 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 Pit's
And I don't want to die 'cause
There's still so much to give
I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
Wanna 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 Pit's
And I don't want to die 'cause
There's still so much to give
I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
Wanna make an escape but don't
Know where to begin
