Lscious Apparatus Lyrics

Lscious Apparatus lyrics

Carla was on her break from the
graveyard shift at the mayonnaise
factory
She sat at a teetering picnic table,
there was a toxic orange
moon
and it was slightly cold
Carla took out her knife and began
etching
random words into the table's surface
Then, she thought of her
co-worker Jack
Carla liked to think of Jack
as a luscious apparatus
He
was meaty but graceful
His flesh seemed folded onto his body
like a suit
made of meat
Carla started to think of Jack as a
luscious apparatus in a
meat suit
Thinking this gave Carla a dreamy smile
Her mouth was small to
begin with
but dreaming made it even smaller
That's just how some people
are,
their mouths get smaller with dreams
Carla's small mouth was
dreaming
as her knife began carving a poem into the table
I like hot
voids, smooth pants, lazy beds in the rain
I like tongue petals, lather, a
blistering sun
but what I like best is the worship
of a luscious
apparatus

When Carla was done carving
she went back to her work
station
and scooped shiny white goop into jars
That's just how some
people are,
their mouths get smaller with dreaming

The next day Jack
took his own 1am lunch break
at the same picnic table
He noticed the poem
carved into the wood
Although he didn't know who had written it,
he
coincidentally thought
'Luscious Apparatus' aptly described him
So he
took out his own knife and wrote
'luscious apparatus was here'

After
a few days both Jack and Carla
happened to sit at the picnic table
at the
same time
They both started to look
at the things carved in the
table
Then they looked at each other
They knew who each other
was
Carla's mouth got small and dreamy,
Jack's eyes got round and
hot
When they got done
with the graveyard shift
They went back to
Jack's apartment
and had sex
Wordless sex, slow sex,
fast sex, talking
sex
Sex like animals have,
sex like boys have, sex like girls have
Sex
upside down, sex inside out
Sex with grins, sex with tears
Sex, sex, sex
Then she noticed the knife by the side of Jack's bed
Jack picked the knife
up And Carla knew at once
that Jack's wounds were from carving
himself
Jack was trying to carve poems into himself
and now he wanted to
carve some in her
This was where she drew the line
She'd have any kind of
sex but not with a knife
When Carla refused to let Jack carve her up,
Jack
felt cheated and misled
He felt that by carving a poem in the table
Carla
had been begging to be carved upon
Carla didn't see it that way at
all
She got up and started putting on her clothes
Jack went nuts, he was
coming at her with a knife
Carla was scared, Carla was shaking and
sweating
Then, because she was small and could move fast
she ducked and
Jack tripped and fell
and impaled himself in the arm with his own
knife
He howled and howled and Carla got the hell out of there
fast

Carla didn't think of Jack as a luscious apparatus after that
