Song Lyrics

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for long long years
Stolen many a man's soul and faith
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moment of doubt and pain
I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed 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
Let me please introduce my self
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I lay traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reach Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all 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
Have some taste
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Please to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
