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