Songwriters: HARRIS, STEPHEN PERCY



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.
