Sympathy For The Devil - Elliot Goldenthal

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 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 oh yeah

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St Petersberg

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

Hope you guess my name oh yeah

What's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game a-ha

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 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

Hope you guessed my name oh yeah

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game yeah

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name oh yeah

But what's confusing 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 um yeah

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name um yeah

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game oh yeah

Woo oh yeah

Tell me baby what's my name

Tell me honey baby guess my name

Ooo Ooo Ooo
