Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste |
|
I've been around for long, long years I've stolen many a man's soul and faith |
|
I was around when Jesus Christ had his moments of doubt and pain |
|
I 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 |
|
|
I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was time for a change |
|
I killed the Czar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain |
|
I rode a tank, held a gen'ral's rank, |
|
when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank |
|
|
|
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, |
|
|
but what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game |
|
|
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 |
|
So let me please introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste |
|
And I lay traps for troubadours, who get killed before they reach Bombay |
|
|
|
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, |
|
|
but what's confusing you, is the nature of my game |
|
|
Just as every cop is 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 |
