[ Steve Harris ]
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.
