Lyrics for Guelah Papyrus

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 rhinotropic 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 Chorus *** Instrumental interlude is THE ASSE FESTIVAL *** 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 Chorus 3x
