Papyrus ( /pəˈpaɪrəs/) is a thick paper-like material produced from the pith of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a wetland sedge that was once abundant in the Nile Delta of Egypt. Papyrus is first known to have been used in ancient Egypt (at least as far back as the First dynasty), but it was also used throughout the Mediterranean region. Ancient Egypt used this plant as a writing material and for boats, mattresses, mats, rope, sandals, and baskets. Chemically, papyrus is composed of 57 percent cellulose, 27 percent lignin, nine percent minerals, and seven percent water.
Papyrus was first manufactured in Egypt as far back as the third millennium BC. In the first centuries BC and AD, papyrus scrolls gained a rival as a writing surface in the form of parchment, which was prepared from animal skins. Sheets of parchment were folded to form quires from which book-form codices were fashioned. Early Christian writers soon adopted the codex form, and in the Græco-Roman world it became common to cut sheets from papyrus rolls to form codices.

You've blue L.E.D.s where eyes should be
Oh oh baby
Finger the wires
Let the papyrus set on fire

Station to star
Gymnasium bar
To the drugs in your car
Look
What do you want?
Oh what is it you need?
Where do you want to go?
Where have you ever been?
Oh, where have you been?
You like plastics
And man-made fibres
But could you decipher your own desires?
Oh oh baby
Finger the wires
Let the papyrus set on fire

Station to star
Gymnasium bar
To the drugs in your car
Look
What do you want?
