Devil

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 faith 



I've been 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 

I Hope you guess my name 

What is puzzling you 

Is the nature of my game 



I stuck around St. Petersburg 

When I saw it was a time for a change 

I 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 

I Hope you guess my name, oh 



Pleased to meet you 

I Hope you guess my name, oh 

What's puzzling you 

Is the nature of my game, oh 



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, oh



Let me please introduce myself 

I'm a man of wealth and taste 

And I laid traps for troubadors 

Who get killed before they reached Bombay 



Pleased to meet you 

I Hope you guess my name 

What's confusing 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 guessed my name, oh
