Man of Peace

Look out your window, baby, there's a scene you'd like to catch The band is playing "Dixie," a man got his hand outstretched Could be the Führer Could be the local priest Sometimes Satan you know he comes as a man of peace He got a sweet gift of gab, he got a harmonious tongue He knows every song of love that ever has been sung Good intentions can be evil Both hands can be full of grease You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace Well, first he's in the background, then he's in the front Both eyes are looking like they're on a rabbit hunt Nobody can see through him No, not even the Chief of Police You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace Well, he catch you when you're hoping for a glimpse of the sun Catch you when your troubles feel like they weigh a ton He could be standing next to you The person that you'd notice least I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull I can smell something cooking I can tell there's going to be a feast You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace He's a great humanitarian, he's a great philanthropist He knows just where to touch you, honey, and how you like to be kissed He'll put both his arms around you You can feel the tender touch of the beast You know sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace Well, the howling wolf will howl tonight, the king snake will crawl Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall Wanna get married? Do it now Tomorrow all activity will cease You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace Somewhere Mama's weeping for her blue-eyed boy She's holding them little white shoes and that little broken toy And he's following a star The same one them three men followed from the East I hear sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace, oh yeah
