Incubus of Love

Music and Lyrics by Richard O'Brien

Druidcrest Music, 1999

You don't have to call me, I've got your number
But you won't see me 'til you slumber
Think of us a blackbird and a dove
Oh let me be your Incubus of Love

If madame is feeling cautious
Drift into the arms of Morpheus
And link us like the hand is to the glove
Oh let me be your Incubus of Love

I'm going to come for you like a thief in the night time
(He's going to creep up to your side)
I'm going to bring relief to you at the right time
(There's no place that you can hide)
Oh let me be the one you're thinking of
Oh let me be your Incubus of Love

I'll be yours until Aurora
Lights the morning with her aura
That rosy fingered nimbus from above
Let me be your Incubus of Love

(He's going to come for you like a thief in the night time)
I'm going to creep up to your side
(He's going to bring relief to you at the right time)
There's no place that you can hide
Let me be the one you're thinking of
Oh let me be your Incubus of love
Oh, let me be your Incubus of love

About the Song: Incubus of Love was one of the first songs written specifically for Mephistopheles Smith. Richard played the song at the 1992 Transylvanian Convention under the guise of Smith, as well as playing Dick of Death and Disgracefully Yours. As with many other songs that appeared in Disgracefully Yours, Incubus later surfaced on Absolute O'Brien. It seems of late that this song is a toss-up with Angel in Me- Richard is fond of singing both live. Appearances: Disgracefully Yours (1992), Absolute O'Brien (1999), and numerous live shows which have been recorded- The Teddy Awards (1998), The Trasylvanian Convention (1992) Approximate date of creation: 1992
