I lit the candles red I drew the circle neat Sprinkled rose and honey On the stone beneath my feet I read the book backward Like the old crone said Then the room got colder And the walls began to breathe I asked for soft devotion For a heart that stays A tender little miracle With chapel bells and rain But the floor split open With a velvet hiss And a laugh came climbing From the ink-black mist Oh no That was not the plan Oh no She took my shaking hand The rune burned hot The roses ran dry And I heard her purr From the other side I summoned love, love, love Got a succubus I summoned love, love, love Now she’s into me, I guess Kiss me, curse me, darling I’m in over my head I summoned love, love, love Got a succubus instead She wore a crown of horns And my wool cloak too Stole my last clean goblet Then asked, “Is this for two?” She said my little spellwork Had a sexy little flaw Now every time I stammer She just grins and claws My priest is at the gate With a hammer and a sigh The village boys are jeering As she blows them all a kiss goodbye She leaned on the altar Said, “You meant to call my kind” Then she tapped my chest twice And stole my peace of mind I wanted moonlit roses A hand to hold me tight Not a demon in my pantry Eating ham at midnight She said, “Careful, mortal You got what you deserved” Then she winked and wrote my name In a lipstick curse I summoned love, love, love Got a succubus I summoned love, love, love Now she’s into me, I guess Kiss me, curse me, darling I’m in over my head I summoned love, love, love Got a succubus instead If love’s a holy ruin Then I’ll wear the scars She can keep my soul But she can’t keep my harp I rang the wrong bell I opened the wrong door Now my sweet disaster Loves me evermore
