Phoenix - Sympathy for the Devil lyrics
[Phoenix - Sympathy for the Devil lyrics]
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 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
But what's puzzling you is the
Nature of my game
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
Oh yeah ah, what's puzzling you is the
Nature of my game, oh yeah
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 reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you - hope you guess my name
Oh yeah but what's puzzling you is the
Nature of my game, oh yeah
Get down, baby
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 mmm, yeah
Pleased to meet you - hope
You guessed my name, mmm, yeah
But what's puzzling you is the
Nature of my game mmm, mean it, get down
Tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me honey, can 'ya guess my name?
Tell me baby, what's my name?
I tell you one time, you're to blame
What's my name?
Tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me sweetie, what's my name?
A man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long
Long year stole many 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
But what's puzzling you is the
Nature of my game
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
Oh yeah ah, what's puzzling you is the
