Sympathy Lyrics - Jane's Addiction (live) - Janes Addiction

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 

And 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 

But what's puzzling you 

Is the nature of my game 

I stuck around St. Petersburg 

When I saw it was a time for a change 

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 

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 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 guessed my name 

But what's puzzling you 

Is the nature of my game 

Pleased to meet you 

Hope you guessed my name 

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 

Pleased to meet you 

Hope you guessed my name 

But what's puzzling you 

Is the nature of my game
