Lyrics
0:21Please allow me to introduce myself
0:25I'm a man of wealth and taste
0:30I've been around for a long long year
0:33Stolen many man's soul and faith
0:36I was around when Jesus Christ had His moment
0:44Of doubt and pain
0:46Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands
0:51And sealed His fate
0:56Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
1:03But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
1:13Stuck around St. Petersburg
1:16When I saw it was a time for a change
1:21Killed the Tzar and his ministers
1:24Anastasia screamed in vain
1:29I rode a tank held a gen'rals rank
1:33When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
1:40Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name.
1:45Oh yeah
1:47Ah what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.
1:53Oh yeah
1:56I watched the glee
1:58While your kings and queens fought for ten decades
2:02For the Gods they made
2:03I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedy's?"
2:08When after all it was you and me
2:13Let me please intruduce myself
2:16I'm a man of wealth and taste
2:21And I lay traps for troubadors
2:24Who get killed before they reach Bombay
2:32Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name.
2:37Oh yeah
2:39But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.
2:45Oh yeah
2:46Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
3:28But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
3:39Just as every cop is a criminal
3:43And all the sinners saints
3:48As heads is tails
3:49Just call me Lucifer
3:51'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
3:55So if you meet me, have some courtesy
4:00Have some sympathy and some taste
4:04Use all your well learned politesse
4:07Or I'll lay your soul to waste
4:15Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
4:22But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long long year Stolen many man's soul and faith 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 Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game Stuck around St. Petersburg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the Tzar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank held a gen'rals rank When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name.

Oh yeah Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint So if you meet me, have some courtesy Have some sympathy and some taste Use all your well learned politesse Or I'll lay your soul to waste Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
