　　歌词：

　　Please allow me to introduce myself

　　I'm a man of wealth and taste

　　I've been around for a long long year

　　Stolen many man's soul and faith

　　I was around 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 Tzar and his ministers

　　Anastasia screamed in vain

　　I rode a tank held a gen'rals 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

　　watched I the glee

　　While your kings and queens fought for ten decades

　　For the Gods they made

　　I shouted out Who killed the Kennedy's

　　When after all it was you and me

　　Let me please intruduce myself

　　I'm a man of wealth and taste

　　And I lay traps for troubadors

　　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

　　Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name

　　Oh yeah

　　But what's puzzling you is 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 guess my name

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