Oh, Isabella

Ratted out in hades

Forced to return

To rockville

With nothing but a rucksack

Hard lesson learned

Foul council of leeches

Want silence and bedlam

Take refuge

And a dagger to the bites

Then suck out the venom

Oh Isabella

Your ship's run aground

Kneel at the sword

Scream at the clouds

Oh Isabella

There's smoke on the wind

Jaguar and fever

Have taken your men

Running on the tightrobe

Woven by spider

While the canyon

Teeming with shoppers

Grows wider and wider

What demons possessing

The clock and the compass?

Surrender

Run headlong to the void

The reptile's among us!

Oh Isabella

Your ship's run aground

Kneel at the sword

Scream at the clouds

Oh Isabella

There's smoke on the wind

Jaguar and fever

Have taken your men

Chained to the oxcart

With a chest full of arrows

The villagers

Are burdened with cedar

By back and by barrow

Scrub brush from the wasteland

Snake in a tree

Remember

When they throw the torches in

Breathe, breathe, breathe

Oh Isabella

Your ship's run aground

Kneel at the sword

Scream at the clouds

Oh Isabella

There's smoke on the wind

Jaguar and fever

Have taken your men

Oh Isabella

Your ship's run aground

Kneel at the sword

Scream at the clouds

Oh Isabella

There's smoke on the wind

Jaguar and fever

Have taken your men
