AFTER WE SHOT THE GRIZZLY...

  After the airship crashed

After we lost the compass

 After the radio went dead

 We shot and ate the horses

  We marched through deadly swamps

  Inside a limestone cave

  I found a human skull

  Yes, Mary, I found a human skull

The captain caught a fever

we tied him to a tree

We stared into the fire

And tried not to hear his screams

I killed a tiny antelope

not scared by my approach

we turned it over dying flames

ass we huddled in the gloam

Yes Mary, we huddled in the gloam

We built a raft from skin and bones

Only five could safely float

the others stood upon the shore

they screamed and threw sharp stones

Yes Mary, they threw the sharpest stones

But how the sea did spin us

How the waves did roar

The captain jumped into the storm

then we were but four

one by one we chose our straws

till only I remained

but Mary you are with me now

all around me in the waves

Yes Mary, you are in the waves
