Karma Devil

Who’s that, whispering in the courtyard?

Who’s that, singing on the breeze?

Who’s that, sliding down the rooftops?

The Devil’s gonna come.

The Devil’s gonna come.

When I was young I was taught to be good

Or I’d come across the Devil in the darkening wood

The Devil would tempt me from the path that’s right

And he’d leave me there forever in eternal night.

Who’s that, knocking at the window?

Who’s that, scratching at the door?

Who’s that, shambling down the hallway?

The Devil’s gonna come.

The Devil’s gonna come.

As I grew up into a man

I didn’t think much about the Devil’s plan

Came across some mean men, some women too

But I never found the Devil, just the lovesick blues.


Well the Devil may care, then again he may not

Sometimes he’s being cool, sometimes he’s running hot

He’s the Devil of Karma, the man with no flaw

He’ll come kicking down your door in the name of the law.


Who’s that, underneath the covers?

Who’s that, climbing down the stairs?

Who’s that, rattling the wardrobe?

The Devil’s gonna come.

The Devil’s gonna come.

Poor old Devil has lost his home

So he’s creeping ’round the place looking for a phone

Who’s he gonna call? Who can tell?

But he’s got a simple message and it’s “Go to Hell!”

Who’s that, knocking on your skull?

Who’s that, pumping in your veins?

Who’s that, licking your lips?

The Devil’s gonna come.

The Devil’s gonna come.
