Smash upon the silence
Of the smooth naked canal
[Chorus]
Well, I'm evil and a heathen
I'm evil and a heathen
Well, I'm a heathen and evil like you
There's not a lot, not a lot I couldn't do, woo

[Chorus]

There's not a lot, not a lot I couldn't do
[Bridge]
Utrecht led me to the Sacre Coeur
Where the smoke curled 'round
Now the ice blows off Lake Michigan
When the ice blows, the ice flow knocks you down

Well, I'm a heathen and evil like you
There's not a lot, not a lot I couldn't do, oh
[Outro]
I'm evil like you, oh
I'm evil like you, woo
I'm evil like you
Oh, I'm evil like you
