Rainbirds - Sympathy For The Devil lyrics

Album: The Mercury Years 1987 - 1994 (1995)

Please allow me to introduce myself
I am a man of wealth & taste
I have been around for a long, long yeahr
Stole many a man´s soul & faith

I was ´round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt & pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands & 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 tsar & 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 yea
Ah, what´s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yea

I watched with glee
While your kings & queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you & me

Let me please introduce myself
I am a man of wealth & taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yea
But what´s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yea, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yea
But what´s confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners sain´ts
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
´Cause I am in need of some restrain´t

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, & some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I will lay your soul to waste, um yea

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yea
But what´s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down

Woo, who
Oh yea, get on down
Oh yea
Oh yea!

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 are to blame

Oh, who
woo, woo
Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yea

What´s my name
Tell me, baby, what´s my name
Tell me, sweetie, what´s my name
