Iron Maiden - Phantom Of The Opera (Live: Reading Festival, 28 August 1982)

[Verse 1] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 2] 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 Torture me back at your lair
