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 Fahrer

Could be the local priest

You know 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, and 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 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 that 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 that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
