Let me take you to the movies
Can I take you to the show
Let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow
From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go
From the door comes satan's daughter, and it only goes to show, you know
There's an angel on my shoulder, in my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden and the seeds of love I'll sow you know
So the world is spinning faster are you dizzy when you're stoned
Let the music be your master will you heed the master's call
Oh Satan and man
Said there ain't no use in crying 'cause it will only, only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lying?
Was this the only world you had? oh oh
So let me take you, take you to the movie
Can I take you, baby, to the show
Why don't you let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow, you know
Can I take you to the show
Let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow
From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go
From the door comes satan's daughter, and it only goes to show, you know
There's an angel on my shoulder, in my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden and the seeds of love I'll sow you know
So the world is spinning faster are you dizzy when you're stoned
Let the music be your master will you heed the master's call
Oh Satan and man
Said there ain't no use in crying 'cause it will only, only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lying?
Was this the only world you had? oh oh
So let me take you, take you to the movie
Can I take you, baby, to the show
Why don't you let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow, you know

This song strikes me as a little cynical ... a love song talking about the corruption of man by woman. There are some metaphorical references to sexual intercourse ... "the seeds of love I'll sow" ... but the narrator also seems to be condemning his woman at the same time, for being a "child of Satan", or even Satan himself.
Incidentally, the line about letting the "music be your master" is one of the lines that spurred rumours that Zep were trying to intertwine Satanic propaganda with their music. All crap, in my opinion, but ...
Yeah, the female corruptor figure is certainly a continuing Idea when compared with the lyrics in Dazed and Confused "soul of a woman was created below" kindov a conservative religious viewpoint found in early Judean thinking pointing to genesis (obviously also quite present in Islam) So yeah, the whole Idea that one who shares that viewpoint would in fact be a Satanist is, as I would agree with you quite preposterous.
