Lyrics
Can you tell me what’s that spell?
Something in the air, I don’t feel so well.
A little potion to seal my devotion,
Smells like heaven but it tastes like hell.
Sprinkle salt, burn a black candle.
Does she doubt this is something I can handle?
Incantations, signs in the sand,
Odd symbols that I don’t understand.
She always calms me.
Got no green-tinted skin or pointy hat,
No gingerbread cottage but she got a black cat.
Flies Delta, well that’s no trick.
Anyway, she don’t fly on no broomstick.
Wears stockings with seams like snakes,
A little black dress that gives me the shakes.
She loves figs, I don’t know why,
And listens to Tori sing “Take to the Sky.”
She always calms me.
Red candy apple, blood red lips,
Electric jolt from my toes to my fingertips.
Oleander, sandalwood, sage,
Amethyst crystal are we on the same page?
In the tea leaves, or lines of your palm,
She can read the future if you’ll just stay calm.
Never had a problem that she can’t fix.
Just don’t ask her what’s in the mix.
She always calms me.
She always calms me.
