Bob Dylan - Man of Peace lyrics
[Bob Dylan - Man of Peace lyrics]
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 Führer
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
Want to 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
There’s a scene you’d like to catch
The band is playing "Dixie
" a man got his hand outstretched
Could be the Führer
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
