This was a song I wrote as an introduction to the band members when ,26 years ago, I moved here and in a little town 20 miles south I heard music . I walked down the alley and knocked on what turned out to be the coolest band house ever .A 1930s theater with stage, trap doors and basement under the stage. They said if you write then write a song about the ghost we see here sometimes. The name of the theatre is "The Key" and I sat on the floor and handed them this an hour later.
The Phantom calls
Inside these walls
Beckoning you to come
So take a seat
And settle down
And we will treat
You to the Sound
Of a rock and roll creation
He's the Phantom of the theater
A rock and Rollin
Double feature
He's the Phantom of the theater
At night you hear the Phantom whaling
To the sounds of a rock guitar
It's an open invitation
No matter who you are
The Phantom shows no mercy
He will rock you to your knees
And inject you with a number
From his latest hit disease
You'll feel the symptoms slowly
As your temperature will rise
You see the smokey visions
When you look into the eyes
Of a rock and roll creation
He's the Phantom of the theater
A rock and rollin double feature
He's a Phantom of the theater
The key to all your wishes
Is the key to all your dreams
The key is locked inside these walls
The Key is where the Phantom......
.........SCREAMS!
