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; in hiding behind that false mask And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past You're standing in the wings; there you wait for the curtain to fall Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, 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
