The Handsome Family

After We Shot the Grizzly

BRETT SPARKS, RENNIE S SPARKS, RENNIE SPARKS

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 glow

Yes, Mary
We huddled in the glow

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
'Til only I remained
But Mary, you are with me now
All around me in the waves

Yes, Mary
You are in the waves
