Man of Peace

Lyrics

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
