I've been looking so long for you, now You won't get away from my grasp I've been living so long in hiding And hiding behind that false mask And I know that you know that I ain't got that long to last Ooh My looks and my feelings are just the remains of my past Ooh 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 Ooh And you know you're helpless from my mesmerizing cat call Ooh 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 running 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 Ooh I haunt you, I taunt you, I torture you back at my lair
