The Devil Is A Traveling Salesman

In the middle of the night he knocks on your door

And asks what you fancy

He knows things that are bought can not bring happiness

So he'll give you a discount

But only because he knows his trinkets will bring bitterness and greed

And that soon, you will ask for more

And when you do

He will give you what you wish

For a price of course

Again and Again

But your money will soon evaporate

So you will sign an IOU

Sadly, you miss the small print

The most important print of all

1 soul , it reads

But it is too late

The ground opens beneath you

And that's when you notice the horns

Peaking from the tips of his hair
