Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

Been around for a long, long year

Stole many a man's soul to waste

[Verse 2]

I was around when Jesus Christ

Had his moment of doubt and pain

Made damn sure that Pilate

Washed his hands and sealed his fate

[Verse 3]

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name

'Cause what's confusing you is just the nature of my game

[Verse 4]

I stuck around St. Petersburg

When I saw it was a time for a change

I killed the Tsar and his ministers

Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank in a general's rank

When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank

[Verse 5]

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name

'Cause what's puzzling you is just the nature of my game

[Verse 6]

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name

'Cause what's confusing you is just the nature of my game

[Verse 7]

I watched with glee while your kings and queens

Fought for ten decades for the gods they made

I shouted out 'Who killed the Kennedys?'

When after all it was you and me

[Verse 8]

Let me please introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

And I laid traps for the troubadours

Who got killed before they reached Bombay

[Verse 9]

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name

But what's confusing you is just the nature of my game

[Verse 10]

Just as every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners, saints

As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer

And I'm in need of some restraint

[Verse 11]

So if you meet me, have some courtesy

Have some sympathy and some taste

Use all your well learned politics

Or I'll lay your soul to waste

[Verse 12]

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling you is just the nature of my game
