PHANTOM Wenn die Nacht kommt wird die Sehnsucht klarer. Alle Traume sind im Dunkeln wahrer. Frei von Angsten steigen Gefuhle aus dem Schweigen.
Fuhl den dunklen Schleier der Dich streichelt. Fass ihn, spur ihn, wie er Dich umschmeichelt. Schutze Dein Gesicht vor dem grellen Tageslicht. Denk an nichts mehr was die Seele traurig macht, Und hore nur noch die Musik der Nacht.
Schließ die Augen und gib Dich Deiner Sehnsucht hin. Flieh weit fort vor den Zweifeln und dem Tag. Schließ die Augen und schweb im Geist davon Und verlier Dich in meiner Dimension.
Leise, innig wird Musik erklingen. Hor sie, fuhl sie, lass sie Dich durchdringen. Los dich von der Welt, die Dein Herz gefangen halt. Widerstrebe nicht der unbekannten Macht: Der Dunkelheit und der Musik der Nacht.
Geh auf Reisen in eine andere Wirklichkeit Wo die Seele sich reinigt und befreit Lass dich treiben, lass alles hinter dir Denn erst dann wirst du ein Teil von mir.
Komm und spur den sußen Rausch des Schwebens. Komm, beruhr mich, trink vom Quell des Lebens. Ahnungsvoller Sinn, diese Nacht ist der Beginn; Fuhl, welch zartliche Musik in mir erwacht Und such mit mir nach der Musik der Nacht.
Nur allein durch Dich wird es vollbracht: Mach aus meinem Lied Musik der Nacht.
Sure I came out here to make my name Wanted my pool, my dose of fame Wanted my parking space at Warner's But after a year, a one room hell A murphy bed, a rancid smell Wallpaper peeling at the corners
Sunset Boulevard, twisting boulevard Secretive and rich, a little scary Sunset Boulevard, tempting boulevard Waiting there to swallow the unwary
Dreams are not enough to win a war Out here they're always keeping score Beneath the tan the battle rages Smile a rented smile, fill someone's glass Kiss someone's wife, kiss someone's ass We do whatever pays the wages
Sunset Boulevard, headline boulevard Getting here is only the beginning Sunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevard Once you've won you have to go on winning
You think I've sold out? Dead right I've sold out! I just keep waiting for the right offer Comfortable quarters, regular rations 24-hour Five Star room service And if I'm honest, I like the lady I can't help being touched by her folly I'm treading water, taking the money Watching her sun set... Well, I'm a writer!
L.A.'s changed a lot over the years Since those brave gold rush pioneers Came in their creaky covered wagons Far as they could go end of the line Their dreams were yours, their dreams were mine But in those dreams were hidden dragons
Sunset Boulevard, frenzied boulevard Swamped with every kind of false emotion Sunset Boulevard, brutal boulevard Just like you, we'll wind up in the ocean
She was sinking fast, I threw a rope Now I have suits and she has hope It seemed an elegant solution One day this must end, it isn't real Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal Before tomorrrow's execution
Sunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevard Destination for the stony-hearted Sunset Boulevard, lethal boulevard Everyone's forgotten how they started Here on Sunset Boulevard...!
Macavity’s a mystery cat, he’s called the hidden paw For he’s the master criminal who can defy the law He’s the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad’s despair For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity’s not there. Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity He’s broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare But when you reach the scene of crime Macavity’s not there. You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air But I tell you once and once again Macavity’s not there. Macavity’s a ginger cat, he’s very tall and thin You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunked in His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed He sways his head from side to side with movements like a snake And when you think he’s half asleep, he’s always wide awake Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity For he’s a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square But when a crime’s discovered then Macavity’s not there. He’s outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard’s And when the larder’s looted or the jewel case is rifled Or when the milk is missing or another peke’s been stifled Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair There’s the wonder of the thing Macavity’s not there. Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity He always has an alibi and one or two to spare What ever time the deed took place Macavity’s not there. And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known.I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time Just controls the operations: the Napolean of crime. Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity He’s a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square But when a crime’s discovered then Macavity Macavity, Macavity, Macavity When a crime’s discovered then Macavity’s not there.
RUSTY When you good nights have been said And you are lying in bed With the covers pulled up tight And though you count every sheep You get the feeling that sleep Is going to stay away tonight.
That's when you hear it coming That is when you hear the humming of the Starlight Express, Starlight Express, Are you real, yes or no? Starlight Express, answer me yes. I don't want you to go.
Want you to take me away But bring me home before daylight And in the time between Take me to everywhere But don't abandon me there Just want to say I've been.
I believe in you completely Though I may be dreaming sweetly of the Starlight Express, answer me yes. I don't want you to go.
And if you're there And if you know Then show me which way I should go.
Starlight Express, Starlight Express, Are you real, yes or no? Starlight Express, answer me yes. I don't want you to go.
CHRISTINE Er sang sobald ich schlief, Und kam mir nach. Mir schien dass er mich rief, Und mit mir sprach.
Traum ich denn immer noch? Ich fuhl es hier: Ganz nah ist das Phantom der Oper da, Es lebt in mir.
PHANTOM Komm sing mit mir heut' Nacht Bei Kerzenschein! Dann fangt dich meine Macht Noch starker ein.
Und wendest du den Blick auch ab von mir, Ganz nah ist das Phantom der Oper da, Es lebt in dir.
CHRISTINE Wer dein Gesicht je sah, Der furchtet dich. Ich dien als Maske dir,
PHANTOM Doch hort man mich.
TOGETHER Dein (Phantom: mein) Geist und mein (Phantom: dein) Gesang, So wirken wir. Ganz nah ist das Phantom der Oper da, Es lebt in mir (Phantom: dir).
CHORUS Ganz nah ist das Phantom der Oper.
CHRISTINE Ganz nah ist das Phantom der Oper.
PHANTOM Sing fur mich!
Christine Ah! (Continuing till end)
PHANTOM Sing, mein Engel der Muse! Sing, mein Engel! Sing fur mich! Sing, mein Engel der Muse! Sing fur mich!
