Lyrics

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
Been around for a long, long year
Stolen many a man's soul and faith
I was 'round 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 a-puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's a-puzzling you
Is just 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 the CIA
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for the troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay, oh yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's a-troubling you
Is just the nature of my game
Oh yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's a-troubling you
Is just 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, waste, yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's a-troubling you
Is just the nature of my game, yeah
What's my name?
Tell me, baby, gonna play
What's my name?
Tell me, baby, gonna play
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, baby, gonna play
