Sympathy For The Devil Lyrics

Inkubus Sukkubus Sympathy For The Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself,
I'm a man of wealth and taste.
I've been around for so many years,
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 puzzlin' you,
Is the nature of my game.

Stuck around St. Petersburg,
When I saw it was a time for a change.
Killed the Tsar 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.
But what's puzzlin' 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 liberty?"
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 puzzlin' you
Is the nature of my game.

Pleased to meet you,
Hope you guess my name.
But what's confusin' you,
Is just the nature of my game.

Just as every cop is a criminal,
And all the sinners, saints,
Sure 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 confusin' you,
Is the nature of my game.

Whoo, who.
I take you higher, I get you lower.
I think you know me.

I think you need me, I know you want me.

I take you higher.

I love you and you need me.

Say my name now, call it louder, shout it louder,
scream it louder.

Call me Lucifer, call me Jezebel, call me Satan.

I hear you call me.

I know you hear me.

I'm a sinner, you're a sinner.

Say it now, say it louder.

Call me Lucifer, I'm Lucifer so call me my name.
