Notes 2/Twisted Every Way

Notes 2/Twisted Every Way is a song from Phantom of the Opera.

Lyrics

Not another chandelier ...Look, my friend, what we have here ...

"Dear Andre,Re my orchestrations:We need another first bassoon.Get a player with tone -and that third trombone has to go!The man could not be deafer,so please preferably one who plays in tune!""Dear Firmin,vis a vis my opera:some chorus-members must be sacked.If you could, find out which has a sense of pitch -wisely, though,I've managed to assign a rather minor role to those who cannot act! "

We have all been blind - and yet the answer is staring us in the face ...This could be the chance to ensnare our clever friend ...We're listening ...Go on.We shall play his game - perform his work - but remember we hold the ace ...For, if Miss Daae sings, he is certain to attend ...We make certain the doors are barred ...We make certain our men are there ...

We make certain they're armed ...

Twisted every way,what answer can I give?Am I to risk my life,to win the chance to live?Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice?Do I become his prey?Do I have any choice?

He kills without a thought,he murders all that's good ...I know I can't refuse and yet, I wish I could ...Oh God - if I agree,what horrors wait for me in this, the Phantom's opera ...?Christine, Christine,don't think that I don't care -but every hope and every prayer rests on you now ...So, it is to be war between us! But this time,clever friend, the disaster will be yours!
