[Verse 1]
I Eam an opera Emaj7singer
I E7stand on painted Atape
It Atells me where I'm Bgoing
And Bwhere to throw my Ecape
[Verse 2]
I Ecall my co-stars Emaj7"brother"
I E7call my co-stars "Aknave"
I Aplay both good and Bevil parts
I Bsing to Verdi's Egrave
[Verse 3]
And Eevery single Emaj7morning
By E710 AM I'm Adressed
My Arehearsals last for Bhours and hours
With Bdiligence I have been Eblessed
[Verse 4]
ESome people, they call me Emaj7monster
E7Some people, they call me Asaint
My Atalent feeds my Bdarker side
Yet Bno one will comEplain
[Chorus]
I Bam an opera EsingAer

I've Bsung for kings in EEurAope
And Aemperors in EJapanB  
[Verse 5]
And Eafter each perEmaj7formance
People E7stand around and Await
Just to Atell me that they Blove my voice
Just to Btell me that I'm Egreat

Most Bpeople seem to Eknow my Aname
Or at Aleast know who I EamB
