Lyrics

Evil

[Verse 1]

It's a long way from home

Can't sleep at night

Call on your telephone

Something just has no right

[Chorus]

That is evil, evil is going on wrong

I want to warn you, brother

You better watch your happy home

[Verse 2]

You make it to your house

Knock on the front door

Run around to the back

You will catch him just before he goes

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

If you call on the telephone

And she answers long and slow

Grab the first thing smoking

And you have to haul her home

[Chorus]
