Guelah Papyrus Lyrics - Picture Of Nectar - Phish

Aboard a craft bereft of oar, I rowed upstream to find Lenore 

Abducted by a bandit or a king from some forgotten war 

And mindful of his larval craze, the rhino tropic micro-gaze 

Ignored it and to my amazement rode to Paris in twelve days 

This is the work of the guelah papyrus 

Stranded for a moment on the ocean of Osyrus 

Absorbing all she can for every member of her clan 

Expanding exponentially like some recursive virus 

She take me on 

I never fail to ride on the redundant rail 

'Cause when I know she's switched a track 

There's always one to take me back 

And through the bedroom door intrude 

A fretful frown and spoil the mood 

'Cause though I never really stand that tall 

She tilt my frame, she watch me fall 

This is the work of the guelah papyrus 

Stranded for a moment on the ocean of Osyrus 

Absorbing all she can for every member of her clan 

Expanding exponentially like some recursive virus 

So maybe I could be a fly 

And feed arachnid as I die 

And view the ritual from within 

The silken tunnel that they spin 

And through the bedroom door intrude 

A fretful frown and spoil the mood 

'Cause though I never really stand that tall 

She tilt my frame, she watch me fall 

This is the work of the guelah papyrus 

Stranded for a moment on the ocean of Osyrus 

Absorbing all she can for every member of her clan 

This is the work of the guelah papyrus 

Stranded for a moment on the ocean of Osyrus 

Absorbing all she can for every member of her clan 

This is the work of the guelah papyrus 

Stranded for a moment on the ocean of Osyrus 

Absorbing all she can for every member of her clan
