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 FĹhrer
  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.
