Phantom of the Opera

I've been lookin' so long for you now You won't get away from my grasp I've been living so long in hiding In hiding behind that false mask And I know that you know that I ain't got long now to last My looks and my feelings are just the remains of my past I'm standing in the wings There I wait for the curtain to fall And knowing the terror and holding I have on you all Yeah, you know that I'm gonna scratch you and maim you and maul And you know you're helpless from my mesmerizing catcall 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 You're runnin' and hiding in dreams I'm always there I'm the phantom of the opera, I'm the devil I'm just out to scare I damaged your mind and your soul, it just floats through the air I haunt you, I taunt you, I torture you back at my lair
