Prefab Sprout - Devil Came A Calling lyrics

The devil came a calling He took a midnight stroll I asked him what he wanted, He said, "your immortal soul" For fifty years I'll spoil you Like the only man alive With power, wealth, A mansion on fel**tio Drive The devil came a calling All smiles and flattery In his hands a contract Exclusively for me When the fifty years are over, I asked "what happens then?" He pretended not to hear me, But he offered me his pen He showed me a house It was as big as a star He said to me "Patrick, Whad'ya thinks so far?" The devil came a calling No brimstone, fire, no rain In fact I found him charming, Articulate, urbane The devil came a calling Charisma all the way Imagine being master Of all that you survey He showed me his world, Hell, he threw me the keys Introduced me to women – They went down on their knees The devil came a calling He took a midnight stroll I asked him what he wanted, He said "your immortal soul" In his hands were papers He told me they were signed My memory is hazy I'm sure that I declined The devil came a calling No brimstone, fire, no rain In fact I found him charming, Articulate, urbane In his hands were papers He showed me they were signed My memory is hazy I thought that I declined My memory is hazy I'm sure that I declined The devil came a calling The devil came a calling
