Look out your windowbabythere s a scene you d like to catch
The band is playing "Dixie" a man got his hand outstretched.
Could be the Fuhrer
Could be the local priest.
You know sometimes
Satan comes as a man of peace.
He got a sweet gift of gabhe 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.
Wellfirst he s in the backgroundthen he s in the front
Both eyes are looking like they re on a rabbit hunt.
Nobody can see through him
Nonot even the Chief of Police.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Wellhe 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.
Wellhe can be fascinatinghe 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 humanitarianhe s a great philanthropist
He knows just where to touch youhoneyand 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 that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Wellthe howling wolf will howl tonightthe 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 that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
