When the Devil Knocks
Late one night around a quarter to four
There was a knock knock knock knock knockin' on my back porch door
Well my mind started racin' about who it could be
A good friend, an old lover, an emergency
So I, I sprang out of bed to see who it was
Well I looked out the peephole
Saw only a stranger
He had horns on his head and his face it spelled danger
He said 'Oh, friend, if it wouldn't be a sin.
I need to borrow some sugar please let me in.'
So I let him in
I shook the man's hand
His grip felt so icy cold
Gave him two cups of sugar
In a pink ceramic bowl
He said, 'My name's The Devil. I moved in next door
I've got a dog who's named Cujo and my wife who's a whore
Well, thanks for the sugar. Guess I'll see you around.'
Well sure enough then
The very next day
The Devil came over
And he wanted to stay
He said 'Me and the missus, we're havin' it out.
Mind if a fella fell asleep on your couch?
And oh what do you say?'
Then I said 'Ok.'
My better judgment tossed aside
I let The Devil walk right inside
My better judgment tossed aside

I let The Devil walk right inside
And all of my habits have begun to change
I'm afraid of the thoughts that arrive in my brain
My nights are restless, I toss and I turn
My eyes sting of sulfur and constantly burn
It's hotter and hotter and I can't find relief
I know he's a liar. I know he's a thief
My better judgment tossed aside
I let The Devil walk right inside
The Devil's been here not just one night or two
He's been here a whole month and he's been stealing my food
Well he drinks all my beer and he holds the remote
He puts cigarette burns in my couches and clothes
And oh I wish that he'd just leave
Well actually last night he got it into his head
the couch wasn't good enough he wanted my bed.
And when I tried to argue he kicked me in the ribs
He said 'There's plenty of room.' So over I slid
And then we were quite the pair
I eventually forgot that he was even there
The Devil's been ruining my life
This I can tell
My living room and kitchen are looking more and more like Hell
Well I don't have the energy and I guess it's bad luck
The Devil's a lousy lover, but a mighty good fuck
And I. I wish I could make him leave
Oh I wish I could make him leave
