After We Shot the Grizzly

Lyrics

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
