Please allow me to introduce myself
|
I'm a man of wealth and taste
|
I've been around for a long, long year
|
Stole many a man's soul and fate
|
|
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 puzzling you
|
Is the nature of my game
|
|
Stuck around St. Petersburg
|
When I saw it was time for a change
|
Killed the Czar and his ministers
|
Anastasia screamed in vain
|
|
I rode a tank
|
Held a generals 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 the gleam
|
While you kings and queens
|
Fought for ten decades
|
For the Goth they made
|
|
I shouted out
|
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
|
When after all
|
It was you and me
|
|
Let me please introduce myself
|
I'm a man of wealth and taste
|
And I laid tracks for troubadours
|
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
|
|
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 I end this tale
|
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 qualities
|
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
|
|
