I come from down in the catacombs of the opera house.
I hide my face while I long for her, While I long for her lovely voice.
I long for her lovely voice
Her lovely voice, her lovely voice
She sings la da da da La da da da La da da da
She doesn't know who I am, for I am a ghost
Oh, I am a ghost to her
She doesn't know who I am and she never will
Unless I can make her believe. Oh, I've gotta make her believe
in the darker side of me
So I ask her
Take my hand and follow me on this journey to the underworld.
How I want her to want me
Her soaring voice carries into my mind
I'm gonna take her away
With me she will stay forever
Don't deny me, understand that I am a monster
I am a monster
Won't you come with me now?
She doesn't know who I am, for I am a ghost
Oh, I am a ghost to her
She doesn't know who I am and she never will
Unless I can make her believe
In me, in me, in me
This face is deceitful when it smiles
It doesn't show how desperate I am inside
So come with me and we'll go
Believe in me and I'll show you who I am
So you can see the man behind the monster that I am
She doesn't know who I am, for I am a ghost
Oh, I am a ghost to her
She doesn't know who I am and she never will
She never, never will believe
In me
