Sympathy For The Devil

(album: Bad Magic - 2015)

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 to waste
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
Cause what's confusing 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 Tsar 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
Cause what's puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game
Come on, come on, come on

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah yeah, cause what's confusing 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 you and me
Let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
I laid tracks for the troubadours who were killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah yeah, cause 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, oh yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name ahh yeah
Cause what's puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game

Ah yeah get down
What's my name, what's my name
Lucifer, that's my name
Ah yeah ah yeah ah yeah
