Phantom of My Own Opera Daniel Johnston

I'm the phantom of my own Opera
Oh don't I know it
And I think of you, sweetheart

I'm lurking in the shadows
Of my memory
We were going to have a circus in the barn

But the creature lurks among us
The ghost of our past
The ghost of our love

And if I had my own way
I always say that phrase
I thought it was a phase
But it wasn't

And so here I am
In my baggy-clown costume
Perform any funny trick and throw a kiss
To the audience

And I'm wearing a mask
But you don't have to ask
Who I'm thinking about
