lyrics

I'll be leaving soon
This cavern of doom
The light of my torch is growing dim
It's too cold and dark
I'm set to go on my mark
Before the snakes and spiders bite
And the scorpions sting
There's a room where the rats run all over the ground
There's a space in the air where the bats fly around
I was lucky to get out of there
With not much time left to spare
Surely I would have tasted pretty good
So I set up my camp
In the forest foggy and damp
And I slept in my tent until dawn
Then I wandered out of the woods

There's an evil cult here
In this temple of fear
I've got the priest and his guards coming after me
Out here a man needs a good pair of Wrangler jeans
At the college I teach archaeology
For my protection I carry a whip
That I crack holding in a tight grip
They thirst for blood like the gators in the mud
To fight them it takes courage and daring
They chase me too far in the mining cars
But I managed to escape with the sacred
Jewels and stones glaring
