The Phantom of the Opera Movie Soundtrack Lyrics
Madame Giry's Tale/The Fairground
RAOUL
Madame Giry. Wait
MADAME GIRY
Please, Monsieur, I know no more than anyone else.
RAOUL
That's not true.
MADAME GIRY
Monsieur, don't ask, there have been too many accidents
RAOUL
Accidents? Please, Madame Giry, for all our sakes ...
MADAME GIRY
Very well.
It was years ago.
There was a travelling fair in the city.
Gypsies
I was very young, studying to be a ballerina
One of many
Living in the dormitory of the opera house
Come, come, come inside
Come and see the devil's child
Murder, murder
Which way?
I have hidden him from the world and its cruelty is
He has known nothing else of life since then
Except this opera house
It was his playground and now his artistic domain
He's a genius, he's an architect and designer
He's a composer and a magician
A genius, monsieur
RAOUL
But clearly, Madame Giry, genius has turned to madness
