Look out your window, babe, there's a scene you'd like to catch, |
|
The band is playing "Dixie," a man got his hand outstretched. |
|
Could be a thinker, could be the local priest |
|
You know sometime Satan comes as a man of peace |
|
He got a sweet gift of gab, he got a harmonious tongue, |
|
Know 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 come 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. |
|
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 come 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 will come 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 come 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 come as a man of peace. |
