Phantom of the Opera (Live at the Hammersmith Odeon)
I've been looking so long for you now
You won't get away from my grasp
You've been living too long in hiding and 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
You wait for the curtain to fall
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all
I know that you're gonna 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
You won't get away from my grasp
You've been living too long in hiding and 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
You wait for the curtain to fall
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all
I know that you're gonna 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
