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.
