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

t just floats through the air

Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair

Oh! You torture me back at your lair
