Air in a jar
Thousand feet from Madagascar
Coming to a lateral skid
After cruising much further than you can in a car
Mission ahead
Take me to the animal's den
Got to get a getaway going
Got to take to a lake to the far-away corners of the kings of the cave
Nothing left to save
Situation grave
Quiet and clear
No one else is anywhere near
Hear a little rumble down south
Got to find some creature I can kill with a spear
Got no to-go
No restaurants as far as I know
Get a little help from Friday
Got to get proficient at the age-old skills of the kings of the cave
Food is all you crave
Never have to shave
Air in a jar
Thousand feet from Madagascar
Coming to a lateral skid
After cruising much further than you can in a car
Mission ahead
Take me to the animal's den
Got to get a get away going
Got to get provisions to the far-away corners of the kings of the caves
Nothing left to save
Situation grave
Kings of the cave
