Knocking on my door was an evil silhouette
Knocking this morning a black silhouette
Knocking on my door was an evil silhouette

And his eyes were glowing like two lit cigarettes

Me and the devil were standing side by side

I looked in the mirror into my own eyes
Me and the devil were standing side by side
He held out his claws and i began to rise


I got me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues

"i know you know it's time to go"
I got me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues

Me and the devil blues
"i know you know it's time to go"
I got me and the devil blues


"about every week i come ringing for the dead
I pile 'em up high - feets and heads

I squash 'em in tight
I shout my call:
I'll take your little dead boy

I'll take your little dead girl
About every week i come ringing for the dead
I pile 'em up high - feets and heads

I squash 'em in tight
I shout my call:
I'll take your little dead boy

I'll take your little dead girl
I don't mind"


You may bury my body in a supermarket aisle
Bury my body in the fresh meat aisle
You may bury my body in a supermarket aisle

And i will rise again like an exocet missile

I got me and the devil blues

Me and the devil blues
"i know you know it's time to go"
I got me and the devil blues

Me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
"i know you know it's time to go"

I got me and the devil blues.
