[Verse 1]
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 Fuhrer
Could be the local priest
I said sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace
[Verse 2]
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 are be full of grease
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
Somewhere mama's weeping for her blue-eyed boy
She's holding them 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
[Instrumental]
