[Verse 1]
Ratted out in Hades
Forced to return to Rockville
With nothing but a rucksack
Hard lesson learned
Foul council of leeches
What silence and bedlam
Take refuge and a dagger to the bites
Then suck out the venom

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Running on the tightrope
Woven by spider
While the canyon teeming with shoppers
Grows wider and wider
What demon's possessing
The clock and the compass?
Surrender, run headlong to the void
The reptile's among us!
[Chorus]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
