You Always Eat the One You Love

When we set out in our canoe, we thought it would be fun 
  We had sandwiches, a flask of tea and a great big bottle of rum 
  We sang and drank and laughed a lot or just drifted in the sun 
  But we would have turned back there and then if we knew what was to come 

  Down the River of No Return, we drifted through this land 
  Through the Valley of Lost Souls 
  To the Island 
  The Island of the Damned 

  Some moron on a Jet Ski shot a spear gun through our boat 
  The water started pouring in, we didn't know if we'd float 
  The sun went in, the wind got up and the rain came pouring down 
  As I bailed out water with my hat, I thought that we would drown 

  Down the River of No Return, we drifted through this land 
  Through the Valley of Lost Souls 
  To the Island 
  The Island of the Damned 

  And as the boat was going down, we saw a piece of land 
  An island in the distance, a pile of mud and sand 
  There was DEADri, there was Bet and me, but only room for two 
  I looked at them, they looked at me.  Will it be me or you? 

  Down the River of No Return, we drifted through this land 
  Through the Valley of Lost Souls 
  To the Island 
  The Island of the Damned 

  We found an old black plastic bag and stuffed it in the hole 
  It still let in some water but we hoped that it would hold 
  Bet lost the draw and paddled off and we knew her life would end 
  In a godforsaken seaside town the natives called Southend 

  Down the River of No Return, we drifted through this land 
  Through the Valley of Lost Souls 
  To the Island 
  The Island of the Damned 

  Now all we do is sit here, taking in the sun 
  But I think that when the winter comes, it won't be so much fun 
  There's nothing to eat but seaweed and dead crabs that float by 
  If it wasn't quite so funny, I think that I might cry 

  Down the River of No Return, we drifted through this land 
  Through the Valley of Lost Souls 
  To the Island 
  The Island of the Damned 
  The Island of the Damned 
  The Island of the Damned 
  The Island of the Damned (Damned)
