Becki Trismegistus

She hexed the pavement and the streets turned into tar
The dogs to jackals and her house to abattoir
There in the yard her father splintered into wood
I guess that Becki always felt misunderstood.

You can't appease her, there's no détente
But she's the one you dream of, the one you want

She cursed the steeple and the roof decayed to rust
The wine to bitters and the wafers into dust
She strangled teachers and then torched the school for good
But Becki was the only girl you understood.

You can't stop trembling and you're not afraid
She's a beacon in a world you never made

She's bloodied up with spiders tangled in her hair
The traffic helicopters crashing everywhere
You felt an arcane crush you never thought you could
When Becki touched you it was then you understood

It's your first time calling to the three-times blessed
She's got your sins forgiven, you're confirmed, confessed

She levitated as she slung a wink at you
Zapped you a halo proving what her palms could do
She said this pact would mark the end of childhood
Her words were murky but you thought you understood

Believe in magic - you believe in love
You believe there's heaven in a hell above
