Prologue (from "The Phantom of the Opera") Lyrics & Tabs by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Prologue (from "The Phantom of the Opera")
guitar chords lyrics
Phantasma, city of wonders
Mr. Y presents marvelous astonishment
Human prodigies
'The Ooh La La Girls', five performances daily
Christine Daaé, the soprano of the century
Gone, all gone
Yes, there's nothing left, nothing but ghosts
But I knew you'd come back, Madame Giry
You, you're still here
Of course we're still here
The freaks, the monstrous, the bizarre
Where else could we exist but here
And after the tragedy
After the master disappeared with the child
After the fire that consumed everything
And after the tragedy
After the master disappeared with the child
After the fire that consumed everything
His dream, our dream
Remember how it was, remember?
Coney Isle, glistening and glimmering
Rising bright, drenched with light
See it smile, beckon and shimmering
All agleam like a dream
Every fantasy set free
Sodom rising by the sea
Coney Isle, miracle on miracle
Speed and sound all around
Mile by mile, loud and lewd and lyrical
Thrill on thrill, never still
All America was there
Beggar next to billionaire
In they came
Chasing sensation and romance
Eyes aflame
Desperate for pleasures yet unknown
Night and day
Pouring in by the hundreds of thousands
Swept away
As their every desire was made real
