There's a devil waiting outside your door
How much longer ?
There's a devil waiting outside your door
How much longer ?
And he's bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
How much longer ?
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
How much longer ?
There's a devil waiting outside your door
How much longer ?
And he's weak with evil and broken by the world
How much longer ?
And he's shouting your name and asking for more
How much longer ?
There's a devil waiting outside your door
How much longer ?

How much longer ?
With a trembling heart is coming trough your door
How much longer ?
With his straining sex in his jumping paw
How much longer ?
