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

And he's howling with pain and crawling up the wall

Oh yeah, there's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer?)
He's weak with evil and broken by the world
(How much longer?)
He's shouting your name and he's asking for more
(How much longer?)
Give him more, give him more
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer?)
