Sympathy For The Devil Lyrics - Bryan Ferry

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 fate 

I was 'round when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and faith 

I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate 

Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name 

But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game 

Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for change 

I killed the Czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain 

I rode a tank held a generals rank 

When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank 

Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name 

But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game 

I watched the gleam while your kings and queens 

Fought for ten decades for the Goth 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 troubadours who get killed before they reached Bombay 

Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name 

But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game 

Just as every cop is a criminal and all you sinners Saints 

As I end this tale 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 qualities 

Or I'll lay your soul to waste 

Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name 

But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
