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
