| Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan
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.
You know sometimes
Satan 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 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 |
