  LYRICS (top)

Packed a bag with hometown dull
Drank all my wine away for a cow's-eye view of Spain
All the way to Costa Del Sol
Dragging a broken leash and a mud-pie soul for claim

Found a friend to feed my fires
Left with a chance totem owl twisting in my hands
Hiked the coast of Spanish spires
And crept along with ghosts of shadows through the land

You keep muttering, you keep stuttering
Witchhunt through your mind for proof
You keep muttering, you keep stuttering
Might as well keep me amused

Self-styled Isabella
Crushing Muslim sand beneath my white French feet
Christian magician
Queen of Inquisition

You keep muttering, you keep stuttering
Witchhunt through your mind for proof
You keep muttering, you keep stuttering
Might as well keep me amused before I'm mad.

Ma ma la la

Look at me the godless man
Wild-eyed disprover of his all-pervasive fame.
Yes, I'm the godless man
Frying Bacon and Descartes upon my post-pubescent brain

You keep muttering, you keep stuttering
Witchhunt through your mind for proof
You keep muttering, you keep stuttering
Might as well keep me amused before I'm mad

My mind is clear my soul is mad
I bet that Kurtz was here and gone

"While in Madrid visiting a friend a while back, I took off to hike down the coast towards Algeciras with only a copy of Heart of Darkness, a compilation book of various philosphers and my guitar.
By the fifth day of hiking and sleeping on the beach, the sun and sangria started affecting me in strange ways. I imagined I was all kinds of people including Queen Isabella and our friend Kurtz (from Heart of Darkness).
At one point I started hearing someone speaking just off to the left in the brush. When I realized it was me talking to myself I decided it was time to go home."
