Lookouts and Watchmen

If you ever heard of this story If you ever felt the presence of a stranger If his words were soft and kind And you could see him smiling in his eyes Lookout and be careful The eyes are not the window of the soul Nor are words as innocent As you may take them By crafty words men will deceive you And for the lack of knowledge you will perish Yes men will try to outfox you Because it takes a fox to catch a fox Men watch for me Lookout I am coming Just wait a minute I’ll be right there No wait maybe tomorrow If I ain’t too busy I’m sorry I had a lot to do today Please be patient Don’t worry my word is good I’m not like those who speak with a double tongue Think about the missions we’ve been through together I have always treated you with mercy Have I not?
