Some people think that the "Charmer" is the devil and somebody knows it's payback time.

Again, "you pay today or pay tomorrow..."

Reminds me of Billy Joel's "Somewhere Along the Line":

"Somewhere along the line, Well I know it's just a matter of time, When the fun falls through and the rent comes due, Somewhere along the line."
