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 As 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
