PHISH - Guelah Papyrus lyrics

rate me

Aboard a craft bereft of oar<br>I rowed upstream to find lenore<br>Abducted by a bandit or<br>A king from some forgotten war<br><br>And mindful of his larval craze<br>The rhinotropic micro-gaze<br>Ignored it and to my amazement<br>Rode to paris in twelve days<br><br>This is the work of the guelah papyrus<br>Stranded for a moment on the ocean of osyrus<br>Absorbing all she can for every member of her clan<br>Expanding exponentially like some recursive virus<br><br>She take me on, I never fail<br>To ride on the redundant rail<br>'cause when I know she's switched a track<br>There's always one to take me back<br><br>And through the bedroom door intrude<br>A fretful frown and spoil the mood<br>'cause though I never really stand that tall<br>She tilt my frame, she watch me fall<br><br>[guelah (the fly)]<br><br>So maybe I could be a fly<br>And feed arachnid as I die<br>And view the ritual from within<br>The silken tunnel that they spin<br><br>And through the bedroom door intrude<br>A fretful frown and spoil the mood<br>'cause though I never really stand that tall<br>She tilt my frame, she watch me fall
