About La Brea Tar Pits
The La Brea Tar Pits are a natural landmark and paleontological research site in Los Angeles, where natural asphalt has seeped up from the ground for tens of thousands of years, preserving the bones of trapped animals over the centuries. In the song, Rivers Cuomo likens himself to animals going extinct after falling into tar. "I think it was a metaphor for me feeling like the world has evolved beyond me and I'm going extinct," Cuomo told Upset Magazine, "and no matter what I try to do, I'm just stuck here in this tar. .
La Brea Tar Pits Lyrics
[00:02.93] I was tromping the jungles, there was nothing to find
[00:12.88] No mastodon so that I could be the guy that provides
[00:23.25] With empty hands, I headed on home
[00:28.43] Live long enough, you're gonna choke on a bone, hey, hey
[00:42.57] Hey, hey
[00:46.67] That's just the way that it goes
[00:53.15] Now I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
[00:59.06] And I don't want to die, 'cause there's still so much to give
[01:04.16] I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
[01:09.45] Wanna make an escape but don't know where to begin
[01:17.66] Each time I let go, I sink a little deeper, ah, damn
[01:28.02] So let me try to persuade you all to lend me a hand
[01:38.19] Good with a spear and settling fights
[01:43.43] Do anything for the good of the tribe, hey, hey
[01:51.55] Could you throw me a rope?
[01:55.54] (Throw me a rope)
[01:57.38] 'Cause I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
[02:03.23] And I don't want to die, 'cause there's still so much to give
[02:08.52] I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
[02:13.54] Wanna make an escape but don't know where to begin
[02:19.91]
[00:12.88] No mastodon so that I could be the guy that provides
[00:23.25] With empty hands, I headed on home
[00:28.43] Live long enough, you're gonna choke on a bone, hey, hey
[00:42.57] Hey, hey
[00:46.67] That's just the way that it goes
[00:53.15] Now I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
[00:59.06] And I don't want to die, 'cause there's still so much to give
[01:04.16] I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
[01:09.45] Wanna make an escape but don't know where to begin
[01:17.66] Each time I let go, I sink a little deeper, ah, damn
[01:28.02] So let me try to persuade you all to lend me a hand
[01:38.19] Good with a spear and settling fights

[02:03.23] And I don't want to die, 'cause there's still so much to give
[02:08.52] I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
[02:13.54] Wanna make an escape but don't know where to begin
