The Phantom of the Opera - Original London Cast of "The Phantom of the Opera"

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, and hiding behind that false mask 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 And knowing the terror and holding you have on us all Now, I know that you're gonna scratch me and maim me and maul And you know I'm helpless from your mesmerizing cat call Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait Don't you stray, don't fade away, yeah Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may Don't you stray from the narrow way, yeah 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 torture me back at your lair)

Midnight Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight The withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind Begins to moan Memory All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember The time I knew what happiness was Let the memory Live again Every streetlamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters And the streetlamp gutters And soon It will be morning Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory, too And a new day Will begin Burnt-out ends of smokey days The stale cold smell of morning A street lamp dies Another night is over Another day is dawning Touch me It's so easy to leave me All alone with my memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me You'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day Has begun

You are tuned to Dawn FM The middle of nowhere on your dial So sit back and unpack You may be here a while Now that all future plans have been postponed And it's time to look back on the things you thought you owned Do you remember them well? Were you high or just stoned? And how many grudges did you take to your grave? When you weren't liked or followed, how did you behave? Was it off in a dissonant chord you were strumming? Were you ever in tune with the song life was humming? If pain's living on when your body's long gone And your phantom regret hasn't let it go yet You may not have died in the way that you must All specters are haunted by their own lack of trust When you're all out of time, there's nothing but space No hunting, no gathering, no nations, no race And Heaven is closer than those tears on your face And the purple rain falls where I'll bathe in its grace Heaven's for those who let go of regret And you have to wait here when you're not all there yet But you could be there by the end of this song Where The Weeknd's so good, and he plays all week long Bang a gong, get it on And if your broken heart's heavy when you step on the scale It'll be lighter than air when they pull back the veil Consider the flowers, they don't try to look right They just open their petals and turn to the light Are you listening real close? Heaven's not that, it's this It's the depth of this moment, you don't reach for bliss God knows life is chaos, but he made one thing true You gotta unwind your mind, train your soul to align And dance 'til you find that divine boogaloo In other words, you gotta be Heaven To see Heaven May peace be with you

The rusted chains of prison moons are shattered by the sun I walk a road, horizons change, the tournament's begun The purple piper plays his tune, the choir softly sing Three lullabies in an ancient tongue for the court of the crimson king The keeper of the city keys ut shutters on the dreams I wait outside the pilgrim's door with insufficient schemes The black queen chants, the funeral march, the cracked brass bells will ring To summon back the fire witch to the court of the crimson king The gardener plants an evergreen whilst trampling on a flower I chase the wind of a prism ship to taste the sweet and sour The pattern juggler lifts his hand, the orchestra begin As slowly turns the grinding wheel in the court of the crimson king On soft gray mornings widows cry, the wise men share a joke I run to grasp divining signs to satisfy the hoax The yellow jester does not play, but gently pulls the strings And smiles as the puppets dance in the court of the crimson king

When the cold of winter comes Starless night will cover day In the veiling of the sun We will walk in bitter day. But in dreams But in dreams I can hear your name And in dreams And in dreams We will meet again. When the seas and mountains fall And we come, to end of days In the dark I hear a call Calling me there, I will go there And back again.
