Phantom Of My Own Opera - Daniel Johnston[00:00:00]
I'm the phantom of my own Opera[00:00:06]
Oh don't I know it[00:00:10]
And I think of you sweetheart[00:00:12]
I'm lurking in the shadows[00:00:21]
Of my memory[00:00:25]
We were going to have a circus in the bar[00:00:28]
But the creature lurks among us[00:00:37]
The ghost of our past[00:00:41]
The gho-o-ost of our love[00:00:44]
And if I had my own way[00:00:52]
I always say that phrase[00:00:55]
I thought it was a phase[00:01:00]
But it wasn't[00:01:03]
And so here I am[00:01:07]
In my baggy-clown costume[00:01:10]
Perform any funny trick and throw a kiss to the audience[00:01:14]
And I'm wearing a mask[00:01:23]
But you don't have to ask[00:01:25]
Who I'm thinking about[00:01:30]
And there's a monkey in the background[00:01:38]
Hung by a rope from the ceiling[00:01:42]
And I'm the villain acting fierce[00:01:44]
And stretching whiskers toothsomely[00:01:49]
The phantom wears a black coat[00:01:53]
Long trousers and a derby[00:01:56]
Stands erect[00:02:01]
And cracks the whip loudly[00:02:03]
I'm the phantom of my own opera[00:02:09]
I perform all the parts[00:02:12]
And I think of you sweetheart[00:02:15]
I'm even the audience[00:02:24]
And I can't help thinking[00:02:26]
We were going to have a circus in the bar[00:02:30]
Can't pull the curtain[00:02:39]
I can't help remembering[00:02:41]
Turn a somersault after singing a verse[00:02:45]
And the song is never ending[00:02:53]
And I never quit rehearsing[00:02:56]
A performance of a sad and twisted art[00:03:00]
And if I had my own way[00:03:08]
I don't know what I'd do[00:03:11]
I probably wish it was you[00:03:16]
