Phantom of the Opera

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 feelings 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 you’re going to scratch me and maim me and maul You know I’m helpless from your mesmerising cat call. Keep your distance, walk away don’t take his bait Don’t you stray, don’t fade away. 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.
