Debt Collector

from Evryman For Himself by Daniel Knox

lyrics

Once upon a time there was a man
He was standing where you're standing now
But no one's heard from him

Once upon a time there was a girl
But a girl has other ways to pay
Are you a married man?

When you owe me, you owe me
You don't want to know me
I'll say hi to your friends
See how far
The finger bends

Once upon a time there was a boy
He said things a boy should never say
I crushed his skull and teeth and broke his neck and -

- Once upon a time there was a corpse
Hard to say if it was boy or girl
From what was left behind

When you owe me, you owe me
You don't want to know me
I'll sneak into your house
I'll be as quiet as a
Little mouse

If you were late to church
God may forgive you but the devil will follow you home
And crawl in bed with you

And if you were late for me
I'd take an axe to everything you love
Or my bare hands

When you owe me, you owe me
You don't want to know me
Never a moments rest
I'll rip the infant from his mother's breast
