The Devil Always Collects

I swear the devil is evil Just like you've always heard But I'll say this for the devil He sure is a man of his word Cause once you shake his hand And your deal is made He'll give you what you desire But then the man must be paid He'll come to see you round midnight Or maybe the night after next You'll hear him knock knock knock The devil always collects He talks with a smile And signs his name with an 'x' That's him! Knock, knock, knock The devil always collects The devil always collects The devil always collects He trades in wicked temptation Man he's always in stock Fools like me are lined up Right around the block No credit? No problem! The price is such a steal But when you beg to back out You'll learn a deal is a deal On the wheel of bad fortune Your number is next Knock, knock, knock The devil always collects He's holding all the cards Now he's cashing your checks That's him! Knock, knock, knock The devil always collects The devil always collects The devil always collects The devil always collects The devil always collects On the wheel of bad fortune Your number is next Knock knock knock! The devil always collects I bought that ticket to heaven That he had to sell But I guess I missed the fine print About the detour to hell He ain't in no hurry He's got a lifetime to burn He'll step in from the shadows When you've nowhere left to turn You bargained for pleasure Fame, fortune, and sex Pay back! Knock, knock, knock The devil always collects No way in hell he'll forget you You sure as hell can expect He's here!
