Amelia

Straw Dogs
I said, "We're out of gas now, Amelia"
She smiled and said, "Well I'll just put us down"
So we pulled off the doors and we sailed them to sea
And we watched as the walls closed around us
I never saw a legend as something to be
I'm just glad that no one's ever found us
Because my bones haven't dried
And your versions are all lies
Everyone wants us to be on some island
Everyone's hoping that we're still alive
Nobody knows we got just what we wanted
We all died
There's a hundred good stories about a man and his boat
And the one he just couldn't let go
And the unspoken reason he's so far at sea
Is there's no one else he'd rather know
And for me and Amelia
That's about how we feel
The only souls ever lost
Are from lives lived at no cost
You've got to burn to be free
Just ask Amelia and me
