Lyrics

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) Oh, 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 Oh, the Devil always collects He's holdin' all the cards Now he's cashin' 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 Oh, the Devil always collects (Knock-knock-knock) I bought the 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 Payback (Knock-knock-knock) Oh, the Devil always collects No way in Hell he'll forget you You sure as Hell can expect He's here (Knock-knock-knock) Oh, the Devil always collects The Devil always collects (He ain't in no hurry) The Devil always collects (Got a lifetime to burn) The Devil always collects (Stepping from the shadows) The Devil always collects (When you've nowhere left to turn) You bargained for pleasure Fame, fortune, and sex Payback (Knock-knock-knock) Oh, the Devil always collects No way in Hell he'll forget you You sure as Hell can expect He's here (Knock-knock-knock) The Devil always collects
