When the Devil is too busy
|
And Death's a bit too much
|
They call on me by name you see
|
For my special touch
|
To the gentlemen I'm Misfortune
|
To the ladies, I'm surprise
|
But call me by any name
|
Any way it's all the same
|
|
I'm the fly in your soup
|
I'm the pebble in your shoe
|
I'm the pea beneath your bed
|
I'm a bump on every head
|
I'm the peel on which you slip
|
I'm a pin in every hip
|
I'm the thorn in your side
|
Makes you wriggle and writhe
|
|
And it's so easy when you're evil
|
This is the life, you see
|
The Devil tips his hat to me
|
I do it all because I'm evil
|
And I do it all for free
|
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
|
|
While there's children to make sad
|
While there's candy to be had
|
While there's pockets left to pick
|
While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
|
I'll be there, I'll be waitin' round the corner
|
It's a game, I'm glad I'm in it
|
'Cause there's one born every minute
|
|
And it's so easy when you're evil
|
This is the life, you see
|
The Devil tips his hat to me
|
I do it all because I'm evil
|
And I do it all for free
|
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
|
|
I pledge my allegiance to all things dark
|
And I promise on my damned soul
|
To do as I am told, Lord Beelzebub
|
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
|
Not only does his job, but does it happily
|
|
I'm the fear that keeps you waked
|
I'm the shadows on the wall
|
I'm the monsters they become
|
I'm the nightmare in your skull
|
I'm a dagger in your back
|
And extra turn upon the rack
|
I'm the quivering of your heart
|
A stabbing pain, a sudden start
|
|
And it's so easy when you're evil
|
This is the life, you see
|
The Devil tips his hat to me
|
I do it all because I'm evil
|
And I do it all for free
|
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
|
|
And I do it all for free
|
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
|
And I do it all for free
|
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
|
|
It gets so lonely being evil
|
What I'd do to see a smile
|
Even for a little while
|
|
And no-one loves you when you're evil...
|
I'm lying through my teeth!
|
Your tears are all the company I need!
