the Devil walks at Midnight

Walking with the devil
ain't something at night
feel the glow of his power
a tender taste of his might

he'll spit without warning
in the pale moonlight
he'll kiss you in the morning
be ashamed of his fright

The Devil walks at midnight
The Devil is free
The Devil, oh Lordy
The Devil in me

come daytime, he is hidden
in the loins of your wife
she lets him indoors,
to spread her light

he whispers in her ear
a dirty, traveling song
my baby he has taken too
he lit the coal on her bong

The Devil walks at midnight
The Devil is free
The Devil, oh Lordy
The Devil in me

get rid of this heathen
to cleanse your soul for good
you gotta shoot him point blank
while he's spilling all that crude

with a cock of the arrow
a clumsy piece of wood
you shot him, oh Lordy
down like a goddamn fool

The Devil walks at midnight
The Devil is free
The Devil, oh Lordy
The Devil in me

now you may think he's gone for good
taking shelter in the moon
but he sits on your doorstep baby
he sits so calm and cool

last train to Moncton
i'll be right behind you, son
wave to your brother
but he just ain't there, he's gone

(x2)
The Devil walks at midnight
The Devil is free
The Devil, oh Lordy
The Devil in me

Pray to Him, he'll get you there.
