Phantom Of The Opera
7'07''

 

I've been looking so long for you now
You won't get away from my grasp
You've been living so long in hiding
Hiding behind that false mask.

You know and I know that you ain't got
that long to last
Your looks and your feeling are just the
remains of your past

Standing in the wings there,
you wait for the curtain to fall
Knowing the terror and holding
You have on us all.

I know that your're going to scratch me
and maim me and maul
You know I'm helpless from your
Mesmerizing cat call

Keep your distance,
Walk away don't take his bait
Don't you stray, from the narrow way

Watch your step, he's out to get you
Come what may
Don't you stray, from the narrow way

I'm running and hiding
in my dreams you're always there
You're the Phantom of the Opera
You're the devil you're just out to scare

You damaged my mind and my soul
It just floats through the air
You haunt me, you taunt me,
You torture me back at your lair.
