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
