Luscious Apparatus (Maggie Estep Vocals)

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 coldCarla took out her knife and began etching

Random words into the table's surface

Then, she thought of her co-worker JackCarla 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 suitThinking 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 dreamsCarla'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 apparatusWhen 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 dreamingThe 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 itHe 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 wasCarla'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 sexWordless 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, sexThen 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 himselfAnd 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 misledHe 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 clothesJack 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 fellAnd 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
