Preshow

The audience is greeted in the lobby by a one-man band playing instrumental music, possibly his instruments are electronic. He isGod, athough the audience is not yet aware of this.

Eventually, he begins to sing the title song- Real - MIDI.

Speak of the Devil like he's powerful and old
He'll take away your power and he'll take off with your Soul.
Speak of the Devil like a spirit you can't fight
He'll eat up all the world and then he'll swallow all the light, but
Speak of the Devil like a silly little kid
You'll take away his power and he'll wonder how you did, so

Speak of the Devil
Anyway you want to.
Speak of the Devil
Never any fear.

Speak of the Devil
Anytime you want to.
Speak of the Devil
And he shall appear.

La, la, la la la, etc.

One day the Devil is a-walkin' down the street.
He wonders past the people and he wonders who he'll meet.
Up comes a man who says he'd like to sell his soul.
He isn't very young but still he isn't very old.
Well, says the Devil I have got a deal for you.
Sign upon the line and I will make your dreams come true, because he

Spoke of the Devil
That is all he had to do.
Spoke of the Devil
now he lives in fear.

He Spoke of the Devil, etc.

(he speaks) Ladies and Gentlemen, I am God. I want to tell you the secret of...

Lucifer: I knew it! There she is, boys! That's God right there! Get her!

Angra Mainyu and Semyaza rush out from the theatre and capture God, dragging him into the theatre. After a moment, the audience is allowed to enter the theatre. The set is a cave-like satanic altar, with a podium to the side, and a high table and fancy chair upstage center where God is bound and gagged. Incense is burning, and relics and icons are set up on the table. The band is visible only in silhouette, with smoke rising. They're making noises even before the audience enters...an overture called Tuning Down, which resembles a normal orchestra tuning up, but is horribly discordant and achieves the opposite purpose. When they finish, they begin The Ritual, which announces the entrance of Lucifer. He is a Brechtian vaudeville Devil, sophisticated and svelte.

Lucifer: Fuck you! What the fuck are you doing here? Do you think you're worthy of Hell? They'd like you to think it's a punishment, but not everyone can make it into the Underworld. I'm just shittin' you, though. You all are tourists; just here for the ride. It's O.K. - we love to show you what we've got to show, and so, let's get on with it.

He sings "On Your Way to Hell"- Real - MIDI

Welcome, Everyone!
You're just beginning now your Journey down to Hell.
I know you'll love it and it ought to suit to you well.
Try not to panic when the theatre starts to smell. We have to burn it to the ground...

Did you really think that you'd get out alive?
Did you really think that we'd let you survive?
Don't you know that no one ever goes to Hell and back again?
You'll see that that was a mistake!
You'll see there's no way to escape!
The doors are guarded by my cohorts and I.

Angra Mainyu and Semyaza appear on either side of the audience, menacing them, and preventing them from leaving the risers. Don't panic, fuckers!
You won't be hurt if you cooperate with us.
Just think of this as your infernal tourist bus.
The sights you'll see may not affect you folks at all...or then again you might freak out

We're not responsible for you!
Or if you split your soul in two
Don't be surprised if you're all changed before we're through
But for the strong and true alone
For the very few who see what they are shown
it is a ride like very few you've ever known.

So, come on, let's go!
And fuck you suckers that don't think you want to know.
So let's get started if your underwear's still dry
the Underworld awaits your untouched eager eyes.

So here we go now you are on your way to Hell
I know you'll love it cause it suits you so damn well.
not goin' to Heaven, 'cause you're on your way to Hell.
I know you'll love it cause it suits you so damn well.

Lucifer: Ladies and Gentlemen the first act on our devilish journey is from Canaan. To tell you the story of Mot, here is the Goddess Anath...make her feel unwelcome! - Real

Anath:

Now, Mot was a God so black and evil
He was the one to bring Death to the people
Everyone goes with Mot one day;
but there was a time when Mot got carried away.
Baal thought that Mot would kill everyone,
Baal tried to put a stop to Mot's fun.
Baal fought with Mot, but with no success.
Mot was a lot filled with happiness.

Mot says to Baal "Now you are my slave.
Come now, I'm hungry and your flesh I do crave."
Mot ate Baal's eyes, and his nose and his ears,
and sent him to the Underworld for seven long years.
Those seven years were a wonderful time
Nothing made sense, no reason or rhyme.
Earth was all cold, and nothing would grow.
And don't you know Death would like it just so.

Naught would have changed if not for Anath
Baal's little sister couldn't stifle her wrath.
A terrible goddess, I wandered the Earth
to show Mot the sot just what he was worth.
I tracked him down and screamed, "Death, thou shalt die."
I cleaved him with swords and burned him with fire.
I ground him up and sowed him like seed
And Poof! Baal revived, that was all he did need.

But Mot came back, as black as can be.
No one kills Evil so easily.
Mot sought out Baal and they started to fight,
and they still fight, right up to tonight!

Lucifer: So Jesus walks into the inn, puts three nails down on the reception desk, and asks, "can you put me up for the night?" Our next guest hails from Egypt, where he was really keeping them on their toes. Here is Seth! - MIDI

Seth tricks Osiris into getting into a large chest, locks it up, and sinks it into the Nile, but Osiris' wife/sister Isis recovers the body and resurrects it. While Osiris is dead, Isis bears a son, Horus, begotten by Osiris during his death(?) Horus becomes the adversary of Seth, and in the end the two meet in mortal combat, during which they mutilate each other. Horus castrates Seth, so depriving him of his power, but in turn, Seth, in the form of a black pig, tears out Horus' eye and buries it.

Lucifer: Ladies and Gentlemen, the very first earthly manifestation of pure evil, Angra Mainyu!

Angra Mainyu appears, preferably through some sort of special effect or trick to make him seem to appear from nowhere, or from something solid. He is an ancient devil; his face is painted, and he wears a headpiece.

Angra Mainyu: You've heard that Zarathustra Spake, but do you know of whom he spake? He spoke of me, and the foolish Ahura Mazda!

Music begins as he goes to the podium to sing.- Real

Angra Mainyu:

I began in the void.
But over three thousand years
I became annoyed
By a tiny point of light
I wished to posess.
I must have it now...
or maybe I'm in love

I am drawn through the void
to find the source of the light
or to be destroyed.
It's a spirit just like me.
He thinks he's so good.
I can make things, too...
and my things can kill you!

Ahura Mazda:

I think we can avoid
Over three thousand years of war,
and I'd be overjoyed.
If you'll only just admit
what I've made is good.
Then we can call a truce...
go back to our voids.

Angra Mainyu:

I think I would enjoy
Over three thousand years of war,
and my troops are deployed.
And I don't think you are good
or what you have made.
You can take your truce...
and shove it up your ass.

Ahura Mazda:

You should not have toyed
with a God such as I,
now you'll be destroyed.
Because Evil never wins;
everyone knows that.
Even guys like you...
now you know it, too.

Angra Mainyu:

I fell back in the void
and slept for three thousand years,
and remained unemployed.

Jeh, the Whore sings "Orgasmic Resurrection."- MIDI He needs Orgasmic Resurrection

I had a visual realization
of his awful situation.
I had heard of his rejection
like a viral infection.
Yes, I knew of his affliction
and he could help with my addiction.
I felt a really deep connection
he had captured my affection.

We felt a mutual attraction
and I drove him to distraction.
I did a love resuscitation
and we had sexual relations.
Well, it started with flirtation
and I started my gyrations
We did some mutual masturbation
and then some deeper stimulation.

I felt a powerful vibration
and we heard a strange pulsation
We felt a spiritual sensation.
It was a cosmic demonstration.
It gave him psychic inspiration
for a three thousand year rebellion.
It is a major insurrection
and that just strengthens his erection,

As a result of my seduction
he is causing much destruction.
He forces total penetration;
he causes total devastation,
and there is widespread desolation.
There was an Earth incineration.
Ahura Mazda's big obsession
was a man of his formation

Ahura Mazda's indignation
at Angra Mainyu's degradation
reached it's final destination
with the cruel assassination
of the man of pure perfection
it was his ultimate creation
but it lacked of good protection
and it got a good dissection

and the price for this subversion
was a spiritual submersion
he was beat into submission
he was not asked for contrition
he was destined for damnation
he was down for the duration
he was guilty of ambition.
he was chained for his transgression

It was divine intervention...
sent him in the opposite direction
Sent to the unborn soul dimension
Trapped in a prison in a dungeon
It was eternal type detention
Locked in a cosmic type suspension.
Now we've come to our conclusion
and he's stuck in his seclusion

mutation deflation vexation cremation
correction inspection detection projection
illusion confusion restriction eviction
defection dejection summation starvation

Lucifer: Ladies and Gentlemen, to tell the story of Semyaza, the first Evil Being mentioned in the Bible, here's Enoch the Prophet. His teachings were cut from the Bible you know, but in Ethopia he still tells it like it is.

Actors portray the story as a dumb show while instrumental music plays. - MIDI

Enoch: And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another:

Angels: Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.

Enoch: And Semyaza, who was their leader, said unto them:

Semyaza: I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.

Enoch: And they all answered him and said:

Angels: Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.

Enoch: Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them. And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semyaza taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, 'Armaros the resolving of enchantments, Baraqijal (taught) astrology, Kokabel the constellations, Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . .and then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth. And they said one to another:

Angels: The earth made without inhabitant cries the voice of their cryingst up to the gates of heaven. And now to you, the holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make their suit, saying, "Bring our cause before the Most High."

Enoch: And they said to the Lord of the ages:

Angels: Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, and God of the ages, the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto all the generations of the ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the ages! Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou: and all things are naked and open in Thy sight, and Thou seest all things, and nothing can hide itself from Thee. Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were striving to learn: And Semyaza, to whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule over his associates. And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness. And now, behold, the souls of those who have died are crying and making their suit to the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended: and cannot cease because of the lawless deeds which are wrought on the earth. And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and Thou seest these things and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to us what we are to do to them in regard to these.

Enoch: Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech, and said to him:

God: Go, bind Semyaza and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations. And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth' shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore.

Lucifer: You hear that? And I'm evil? I mean, this God is on a major power trip - we got kicked out of Heaven for just looking at hot babes! Does that suck or what? Exactly.

Semyaza sings God Sucks.- Real - Real Video - MIDI

There's an invisible man who lives in the sky
and he can see everything with his invisible eye.
He knows what you do and what you say as well
and if he doesn't like it he will send you down to Hell.

God Sucks!

You really have to listen when he tells you what to do
'cause there's gonna come a day when he's gonna judge you!
So, he made a big list of his ten biggest rules
and he made 'em real simple cause he knows you all are fools.

Rule number 1 is he's gotta come first
cause he's really really paranoid that he is the worst;
Rule number 2 - no photographs, you!
Not just him and Heaven, but underwater, too!

God Sucks!

Rule number 3 don't take his name in vain
or you'll never be guiltless and you'll always live in shame.
Rule number 4 is his special special day,
and you have to all stop working so he knows it's all OK.

Number 5 be nice to your Mom and your Dad
or he'll kick you off your land and take the stuff you have.
Number 6: don't kill. But I'm sure you know
that it's perfectly OK if God says so.

God Sucks!

And you don't get to sleep with some other guy's wife
or he'll make you wish you hadn't for the rest of your life.
You know you can't take stuff if you didn't pay the bill.
But if the cops don't get you then the big guy will.

Don't say your neighbor did stuff he didn't do
cause it really screws things up so he doesn't want you to.
You can't think you'd like another guy's wife,
or his butler or his maid or his ass or else his life.

God Sucks!

Lucifer: OK, asswipes - we're making our final descent into Hell. The captain has turned on the start smoking lights. (smoke appears from the wings and begins to fill the) Unfortunately for you, I'm leaving, and you're on your own! When are you going to learn not to put your trust in Evil? Not soon enough...

He exits (in a puff of smoke?), leaving the audience alone in the semi-darkened theatre. A long moment passes, long enough for the audience to get worried. Suddenly, God, appears in an evening gown, and sings Toujours Jamais.

You know when first we met that I was skeptical of you.
But the I saw the passion running deep and through and through.
I thought you needed me more than I needed you, at first.
But now that you are gone I find my need for you is worse.

Chorus:

Toujours Jamais, Jamais Toujours
Mais les jours sont trop mauvais
Bonjour: Au revoir...Au revoir, bon jours.
Avec tu, toujours jamais!

La, la, la...

Our early days together were impoverished and sweet.
But you could make a miracle and put shoes on my feet
I know we both were awestruck by the partnership we found
you showed me how to wear a dress and how to stand my ground.

(chorus)

(spoken)

My darling, I remember all the things you made me do.
The things I would do again for you in a heartbeat...
like killing my wife, and my sister, and wearing peanut butter and oatmeal on my face with those two women. Now I understand that I'd do anything for you, anything...

Our destiny was tied together inextricably.
And now that I'm cut free I don't know what's become of me.
I have no place to go and I don't want a place to stay.
You put your vision in my head and molded me like clay...

(chorus) very slow

God: Thank you...I've always wanted to do a number like that. I just couldn't resist. And now, to tell you about Theophilus, here's Saint Jerome.

Saint Jerome tells the story of Theophilus:

Once there was a young cleric named Theophilus. He was very devout, and never, ever sinned. In fact, he was so virtuous that when his mentor, the venerable Bishop passed into the hands of his maker, Theophilus was considered by everone to be next in line for the honor. But Theophilus, being humble as God demands, was not ambitious, and so turned down the promotion politlely.

Unfortunately for him, the job was given to a man who had always envied Theophilus, and who was not virtuous or even particularly subtle. He made Theophilus' existence a living Hell, making him do the most horrible and humiliating tasks day and night, pushing him to the brink of despair.

With nowhere else to turn, Theophilus hears of a mysterious magician named Mel in the village, who could fix everything, just like the Wizard of Oz.

Mel: What can I do for ya, sonny?

Theophilus: I need help. My boss the new Bishop is driving me insane!

Mel: Oy, what a dilemma! Come, sit, we'll work it out, don't worry.

Theophilus: Can you really help?

Mel: Well, not me myself, actually. But I can help you get in touch with someone who definitely can.

Theophilus: Who's that?

Mel: The Devil!

Saint Jerome:

So, Theophilus followed Mel's instructions and went to the woods the next night exactly at midnight. As he approached, he heard he minions of Satan chanting in their ritual. Satan was expecting him, and had the contract all drawn up. Theophilus was eager to sign.

The next day, Theophilus' rival was consumed with scandals and defrocked immediately. Theophilus became the Bishop, and his parish grew beyond all expectations until he was the most respected holy man in the whole country.

"Now," said the Devil, "it is time for me to take your soul."

Theophilus sings The Details.- Real - MIDI As I wandered down the path of least resistance,
and I wondered if I'm going to find my way.
A wise man came along and offered his assistance.
And he said to me that Life is in the details.

That is the place to look;
Life is in the details.
More than the Earth when it shook
Your life is in the details.

So I looked up to my God up in the Heavens,
and I hoped that he would show me where to go.
But the Holy Man said that was just a symbol.
"He is all you see", 'cause God is in the details.

That is the place that he hides.
God is in the details.
Everywhere, even inside.
Your God is in the details.

Now I'm looking back upon a life I never knew.
And I know that it was mostly just a waste.
'Cause that wise and holy man has taken my soul.
Now I know for sure, the Devil's in the details.

That's what was there all along.
The Devil's in the details.
Now you can join in my song;
the Devil's in the details.

Saint Jerome continues:

But Theophilus was so well connected that word reached you-know-who, and the Virgin Mary herself ripped up the devil's contract with Theophilus. You see, it's always about who you know!

Lucifer: You made it! Welcome to HELL! This is my three-headed dog. Isn't he sweet? Sick 'em boy! Get 'em! Ha Ha Ha Ha! Yes, you know, suckers, I'd like to say a bit here about the NEW Hell. Like Las Vegas, we've decided to go for a more "family-oriented" image. We've got an Ad agency in town that we're working with, and we really want you to look at us in a new way...why just imagine: Hell could be YOUR TOWN!

Lucifer and the entire company sing Holiday in Hell.- Real

When my baby and me want to get away
We pack it on up and take a holiday.
We go on down to where it's super-duper hot
And we have fun, but they do not.

It's a holiday in Hell. Everybody smells.
Stay in your hotel. 'Cause it's a holiday in Hell.

Well, the people down there, they rant and rave,
But they never seem to know I'm from beyond the grave.
I feel like a spy in the land of Hell,
But we're having so much fun that I can't even hardly tell

That it's a holiday in Hell. Everybody smells.
Stay in your hotel. 'Cause it's a holiday in Hell.

The rides are such a thrill but souvenirs can kill.
Watch our for the water, and the customary slaughter!

Marge: Oh, Harry, I just love it here in Hell.
Harry: I know, Marge, this is even better than Cleveland!
Marge: Oh, look, Henry, there's Satan! I just gotta get a picture with him.
Harry: Smile, honey...look at the blood.
Marge: Oh, Harvey, that was wonderful...let's go shopping.
Harry: Whatever you say, Midge. Well, we're coming back next year, and we're taking the kids;
When they're burning up in flames, we'll be glad we did.
We're having lots of fun in the primeval ooze,
So if you want a break it's the vacation to choose.

It's a holiday in Hell. Everybody smells.
Stay in your hotel. 'Cause it's a holiday in Hell.

Evil- Real Yo ho ho and a bottle of gin,
Fifteen men committed fifty sins,
That's EVIL, yes, but whatcha gonna do?

Years of blood and years of pain,
Demons call on death ordained.
They're coming, now, it's over, so run away fraidy-cat!

Scumbag breath melts prostitute hearts,
Sinbad reeks, Plato farts,
All I want is a little bit of you,
But every time I wake it's a nightmare come true.
It's EVIL, oh, my fate is sealed forever, fool!

Hold me down, I'm desperate! Keep me in your sight!
Vicious needs are coming out tonight!

Evil's coming, evil's coming, evil's coming, evil is here.

Satan appears.

Hush little baby, don't you cry, papa's gonna hit you right in the eye.
And if that eye don't see no light, papa's gonna give you the urban blight.
If that blight don't kill you dead, papa's gonna crawl inside your head.
If that head won't come around, papa's gonna drive it through the heart of town.

Satan sings Soul Sucker.- Real

            I'm gonna eat your soul
            You're gonna lose control.
            We're gonna make a deal
            You're gonna be my meal.

Chorus

I'm the soul sucker - Soul sucker, baby. I'm gonna suck your soul, sucker. I'm gonna suck your soul.
I'm the soul sucker - Soul sucker, baby. I'm gonna suck your soul, sucker.

           You're gonna sign in blood.
            You're gonna be my stud.
            You're gonna come with me.
            You're gonna see what you could be.

Chorus

(Break)
I'm gonna be your soul sucker. (Soul Sucker)
I'm gonna suck your soul, sucker. (Soul Sucker)
I'm gonna suck your soul, you're gonna lose control...

            You're gonna win your dreams.
            You're gonna start to cream.
            You're gonna fly so high.
            You're gonna satisfy.

Chorus

Lilith: (offstage) Satan! What are you doing?!
Satan: (suddenly meek) Nothing, Mommy...just extracting the collective soul from the audience.
Lilith: Well, stop it! I've had enough with your turning the tourists into zombies. Get downstairs and clean up your room this instant!
Satan: But Mom...
Lilith: No buts, mister! Right now, or no more evil for the rest of the week!
Satan: Shit, I hate it when she humiliates me in front of the mortals. (He growls at the audience)
Lilith: I heard that!

Satan exits, muttering.After a beat, Lilith enters, wuth Mary. They're laughing and talking as they enter.

Mary: Hi, everyone. I'm sorry for all the chaos and confusion. I'm Mary, mother of God, and this is my bst friend Lilith, mother of Satan.
Lilith: Hi all. Enjoying the show?
Mary: Everything's under control now...more or less. We just wanted to tell you how we feel, right Lilith?
Lilith: You know it, Mary!

God's Mother Mary and Satan's Mother Lilith sing "Mothers of the Powers That Be." - MIDI

We are the Mothers of the Powers That Be
And we've got a lot to say
about the way that the Universe runs,
and the way that our children behave.

Mary:
God was cute as a little one;
he smiled and that's how he made the Sun.
But as a teenager he made me nuts.
Always off playin' with his blood and guts!
Blood and guts (4x)

Lilith:
Satan and your son were best of friends.
Who would have known they would come to such ends?
Now they just squabble and bicker and such;
I keep telling 'em it's just too much.
Just too much (4x)

Mary:
God says a lot but he don't make sense.
Lilith:
Satan is a liar and he's totally dense.
Mary:
God always cries when he don't get his way.
Both:
Why are our kids such a motherfuckin' pain?

Both:
Everyone knows that our kids are fine
so long as you can laugh at 'em some of the time.
Don't never think that they don't need you
to give 'em all their power, and show 'em what to do!
What to do (4x)

God:

Thanks Mom, Lilith. That was very fine. OK, folks, that's about it....(sings) - Real - MIDI

Now it's time for your journey back to earth
And I hope you have learned from where you've been
that things you've so long been afraid of
are no more than the shadows unseen
and it's time that you look to the future
and go on to the next step you might.
and it's time that you put away childish fears
and step up to live in the light.

Yes it's time, time, time, time.
Time for a paradigm shift.

Well, it's time for your journey back to earth
so sit back and get ready to go
cause it's time to return to the ones that you love
and share with them all you now know
and it's time to face up to the music
and the pain of reality
and the difficult simplicity that makes up your world
yes, it's time to go back with me.

You see, I didn't invent the Devil to scare the crap out of you. I designed him as a friendly reminder that nothing comes easy, and that your actions DO have consequences. But he's only as powerful as you make him...since he must appear when you speak his name, the more you call him, the more you control him. Here: I'll show you. If each and everyone of you calls out his name at the same time, he'll be so overloaded with appearances that he'll just explode! Let's give it a try...

The audience begins to chant "Satan", led by God, and Satan tries to be everywhere at once. Unable to cope, Satan disappears into the fog. God reprises the title song.- Real - MIDI Speak of the Devil like he's powerful and old
He'll take away your power and he'll take off with your Soul.
Speak of the Devil like a spirit you can't fight
He'll eat up all the world and then he'll swallow all the light, but
Speak of the Devil like a silly little kid
You'll take away his power and he'll wonder how you did, so

Speak of the Devil
Anyway you want to.
Speak of the Devil
Never any fear.

Speak of the Devil
Anytime you want to.
Speak of the Devil
And he shall appear.

La, la, la la la, etc.
