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
