| Pleased to meet you, ho | pe you guess my na | me, |
| B | B | E | |
| but what's puzzling you, is the | nature of my g | ame |
| I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was time for a change |
| I killed the Czar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain |
| I rode a tank, held a gen'ral's rank, when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank |
| 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 |
| So let me please introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste |
| And I lay traps for troubadours, who get killed before they reach Bombay |
| Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, |
| but what's confusing you, is just the nature of my game |
| Just as every cop is 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 |
