After We Shot the Grizzly lyrics
After the airship crashed<br />
After we lost the compass<br />
After the radio went dead<br />
We shot and ate the horses<br />
<br />
We marched through deadly swamps<br />
Inside a limestone cave<br />
I found a human skull<br />
Yes, Mary, I found a human skull<br />
<br />
The captain caught a fever<br />
We tied him to a tree<br />
We stared into the fire<br />
And tried not to hear his screams<br />
<br />
I killed a tiny antelope<br />
Not scared by my approach<br />
We turned it over dying flames<br />
Ass we huddled in the gloam<br />
Yes Mary, we huddled in the gloam<br />
<br />
We built a raft from skin and bones<br />
Only five could safely float<br />
The others stood upon the shore<br />
They screamed and threw sharp stones<br />
Yes Mary, they threw the sharpest stones<br />
<br />
But how the sea did spin us<br />
How the waves did roar<br />
The captain jumped into the storm<br />
Then we were but four<br />
<br />
One by one we chose our straws<br />
Till only I remained<br />
But Mary you are with me now<br />
All around me in the waves<br />
Yes Mary, you are in the waves
