Ozzy Osbourne Album

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah

Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call

Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this Earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call

Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent

l wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant

People look to me and say
Is the end near, when is the final day
What's the future of mankind
How do I know, I got left behind

Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me 
I don't know

How am I supposed to know
Hidden meanings that will never show
Fools and prophets from the past
Life's a stage and we're all in the cast

Ya gotta believe in someone asking me who is right,
Asking me who to follow, don't ask me, 
I don't know,
I don't know 
I don't know 
I don't know

Nobody ever told me I found out for myself
Ya gotta believe in foolish miracles
It's not how you play the game
It's if you win or lose you can choose
Don't confuse win or lose, it's up to you
It's up to you - it's up to you - it's up to you

People look to me and say
Is the end near, when is the final day
What's the future of mankind
How do I know, I got left behind

Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me 
I don't know

How am I supposed to know
Hidden meanings that will never show
Fools and prophets from the past
Life's a stage and we're all in the cast

Ya gotta believe in someone asking me who is right,
Asking me who to follow, don't ask me, 
I don't know,
I don't know 
I don't know 
I don't know

Wine is fine
But whiskey's quicker
suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrow

Evil thoughts and evil doings
Cold, alone you hang in ruins
Thought you'd escape the reaper
You can't escape the master keeper

'Cause you feel life's unreal and you're living a lie
Such a shame who's to blame and you're wondering why
Then you ask from your cask is there life after birth
What you saw can mean hell on this earth
hell on this earth

Now you live inside a bottle
The reaper's travelling at full throttle
It's catching you but you don't see
The reaper is you and the reaper is me

Breaking laws, knocking doors
But there's no one at home
Made your bed, rest your head
But you lie there and moan
Where to hide, suicide is the only way out
Don't you know what it's really about

Wine is fine
But whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrow

Yesterday has been and gone
Tomorrow will I find the sun
or will it rain
Everybody's having fun 
Except me I'm the lonely one
I live in shame

(chorus)
I said goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet,
we'll meet in the end
I've been the king, I've been the clown
now broken wings can't hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with the broken crown
It won't be me this time around
to love in vain

(repeat chorus)

and I feel the time is right 
although I know that you just might say to me
what you gonna do
what you gonna do
But I have to check this chance
goodbye to friends and to romance
And to all of you
And to all of you
Come'on now!

(repeat chorus)

and the winter is looking fine
and I think the sun will shine again
and I feel I've cleaned my mind
all the past is left behind again

(repeat chorus)

Over the mountain take me across the sky
Something in my vision, something deep inside
Where did I wander, where d'ya think I wandered to
I've seen life's magic astral plane I travel through.

I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars
And said I'd show them how.

Over and over always tried to get away
Living in a daydream only place I had to stay
Fever of a breakout burning in me miles wide
People around me talking to the walls inside

Don't need no astrology it's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to ride with me - I'm free.

Over and under in between the ups and downs
My mind's carpet magic ride goes round and round.
Over the mountain kissing silver inlaid clouds
Watching my body disappear into the crowd.

Don't need no astrology it's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to ride with me - I'm free.

Got a crazy feeling I don't understand
Gotta get away from here
Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear

Mamma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy'

Cause you can't see what my eyes see
(I can see it, I can see it)
And you can't be inside of me, flying high again

I can see through the mountains watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colours of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy. (You bet)

Mamma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy

If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is red
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again come on and join me
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again come on and join me

Daddy thinks I'm lazy he don't understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand
Never heard a thing I said.

Mamma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again

Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation
Endless price I have to pay

Sanity now it's beyond me
There's no choice

Diary of a madman
Walks the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dear diary, I'm here to stay

Manic depression befriends me
Hear his voice
Sanity now is beyond me
There's no choice

A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes?
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me?
Is he trying to get out
Or trying to enter me?

Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save from myself

Enemies fill up the pages
Are they me?
Monday 'til Sunday in stages

Finished with my woman
Cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane
Because I am from another time

All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
If I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me
Occupy my brain, oh yeah

I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make
True happiness I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel
And love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to end your life
I wish I could but it's too late

Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon

Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon

They cursed and buried him
Along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone
In empty burning Hell-unholy one
But now he's returned to prove them wrong

Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of hell

And when he finds who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him bark at the moon

Pictures building in my head
Nothing done and nothing said
Talking to me with your eyes
What they say is no surprise
Things are so much different now
But nothing lasts forever

You, looking at me, looking at you
I wanna talk to you
You, looking at me, looking at you

Carry on from day to day
Even when we touch it seems miles away
I know you know I know too
Is it me or is it you?
Things are so much different now
But nothing lasts forever

I had a dream that we were through
I can't imagine nights without you, yeah
Looks and fixes can we repair
Talking good and we just stare
Waste of love is waste of life
Save our love from the final knife
Things would be so different then

They couldn't see what I thought would be so obvious
They hide behind the walls the make for all of us
The ministry of truth that deals with pretense
The ministry of peace that sits on defense
I'm washing my hands of what they're trying to do
I'm breaking the rules and its for me and for you

I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll tell you no lies
They think I worship the devil
They only see through his eyes
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel

They live their lives in fear and insecurity
And all you do is pay for their prosperity
The ministry of fear that won't let you live
The ministry of grace that doesn't forgive
Do what you will to try and make me conform
But I'll make you wish that you had never been born

Cause I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll do as I please
I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'm as free as the breeze
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel

They'll try playin with your heart
They know it rules your head
They only feel what bigotry feels
They won't fool me again

God only knows why they couldn't see the obvious
Is it because they manifest the incubus
The ministry of war that got caught in the draught
The ministry of joy that still hasn't laughed
When its all boiled down and the days at an end
I'll give you no bullshit and I'll never pretend
Cause I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll tell you no lies
They say I worship the devil
Why don't they open their eyes

(O.Osbourne-Z.Wylde-R.Castillo-B.Daisley)

Crazy...babies...
Crazy babies never say die
Born to live on a permanent high
Flying high above the world below
They'd better come down soon or everyone will know
Nobody's gonna change them, change them
They've gone over the top
Nobody's gonna tame them, tame them
They're never gonna stop
Walk that walk
Talk that talk
Crazy...babies...
When they were born they were born to be wild
Some say I'm another devil's child
Crazy babies in a world of their own
I am a crazy babe you better leave me alone tonight
No use talking bout if they'll last
Where they're going or about their past
They're just the result of our society
So frustrated just like you and me

(O.Osbourne-Z.Wylde-B.Daisley)

I'm looking for a miracle man
That tells me no lies
I'm looking for a miracle man
Who's not in disguise
I don't know where he'll come from
And I don't know where he's been
But it's not our Jimmy Sinner
Because he's so obscene
Miracle man
Got busted
Today I saw a miracle man
On TV cryin'
Such a hypocritical man
Born again dying
He don't know where he's going
But we know where he's been
It was our little Jimmy Sinner
On the screen
A devil with a crucifix
Brimstone and fire
He needs another carnal fix
To take him higher and higher
Now Jimmy he got busted
With his pants down
Repent ye wretched sinners
Self righteous clown

(O.Osbourne-Z.Wylde-J.Sinclair-R.Castillo-B.Daisley)

The introduction to his heartache began as a child
So it's no wonder that he grew up to be so wild
So he protected his feelings in walls he imagined
But castles crumbled exposing the frightened child
Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now my castles are burning
In solitude he couldn't deal with his own existence
The burning questions in the castles have still remained
God only knows how he searched in vain for the answers
Now castles crumble exposing his naked flames
Yeah

(O.Osbourne-B.Daisley-Z.Wylde-J.Sinclair-R.Castillo)

Well I know I could be just another stranger
But to you I guess I'm just another fool
And you swear You like to live your life in danger
Then you hide behind a wall of silly lies
Nobody thinks the way I do
I guess that nobody dares
Your head's so full of things
So set your mind free of them
I'm breaking the rules
Did you know that in the truth
There's nothing stranger
I suppose you think I know it all
Nobody hears the things I say
I guess nobody cares
My head's so full of things
I set my mind free of them
I'm breaking the rules
Breaking all the rules
Can't you see they're nothing without you
Empty head full of fools
Now you see I'm breakin' all the rules
Breakin' all the rules
Well I know
That you would love to go to heaven
But you know
You're just too afraid to die
And I know
That you would love to know the answers
But to you
The truth is just another lie

(O.Osbourne-Z.Wylde-L.Kilmister)

Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come but I ain't the same
Mama, I'm coming home

Times gone by seem to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm coming home

Took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry, told me lies
But, I can't stand to say goodbye
Mama I'm coming home

I could be right, I could be wrong
Hurts so bad, it's been so long
Mama, I'm coming home

Selfish love yeah, we're both alone
The ride before a fall
But I'm gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all

I've seen your face a hundred times
Every day we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
Cause mama, mama I'm coming home

(O.Osbourne-Z.Wylde-R.Castillo-L.Kilmister)

I always knew what I wanted to be
I knew for sure, I knew for sure
Always knew it was them or me
I wanted more, more and more

It's all right, it's okay
None of them people gonna take it away
Cause they don't know, like I know
And I can't stop 'cause it drives them crazy
It drives them crazy, 'cause I won't be cool
It's too late baby

It's the same old desire
Nothing has changed, nothing's the same
Burning like fire
Don't you ever take my name in vain

Always moving somewhere else to be
Moving on, moving on
Scream at you and you scream at me
Right or wrong, right or wrong

It's all right, it's okay
No one's ever gonna take us away
'Cause they don't know, like I know
I gotta keep rockin' cause it makes me crazy
It makes me crazy, who needs to be cool
Life's amazing

It's that same old desire
Crazy train, crazy train

(O.Osbourne-Z.Wylde-R.Castillo-M.Inez-J.Purdell)

The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack

Your momma told you that you're not supposed to
talk to strangers
Look in the mirror tell me do you think your life's
in danger here ya

No more tears

Another day passes as the night closes in
The red light goes on to say it's time to begin

I see the man around the corner waiting does he see me?
I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here

No more tears

So now that it's over can't we just say goodbye?
I'd like to move on and make the most of the night

Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold I don't know what else to say

I never wanted it to end this way my love my darling
Believe me when I say to you in love I think I'm falling here

No more tears

(O.Osbourne-Z.Wylde)

Time after time
I guess that love is blind
I couldn't read your mind
Line after line

Line after line
It was written in your eyes
I guess it's no surprise
Time after time

I can hear them whispering
Shadows in the rain
Thinking how it might have been
Time after time
Line after line you broke me

Day after day
I watched love fade away
I wanted love to stay
Day after day

The games we play
The foolish things we say
The pain won't go away
Day after day

Candelight is shimmering
Shadows on the wall
Thinking how it might have been
Day after day
The games we play you broke me

(O.Osbourne-Z.Wylde-R.Castillo)

I was looking back on my life
And all the things I've done to me
I'm still looking for the answers
I'm still searching for the key

The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The road to nowhere leads to me

Through all the happiness and sorrow
I guess I'd do it all again
Live for today and not tomorrow

Ah ah
The road to nowhere's gonna pass me by
Ah ah
I hope we never have to say goodbye
I never want to live without you

(O.Osbourne-Z.Wylde-R.Castillo-L.Kilmister)

Standing at the crossroads, world spinning round and round
Know which way I'm going, you can't bring me down
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need no pity for the shape I'm in

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me

Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
You telling all the people the original sin
He says he knows you better than you'll ever know him

You know it ain't easy
You know it ain't fair
So don't try to please me
Because I really don't care

Don't tell me stories 'cause yesterday's glories
Have gone away, so far away
I've heard it said there's a light up ahead
Lord I hope and pray I'm here to stay

(O.Osbourne-Z.Wylde-J.Purdell)

On his way to dinner when
It took him by surprise
And with one pull of the trigger
He would vanish overnight

Dancing by the roadside
Holding on for dear life
Then a gun from out of nowhere
Made a widow of his wife

I don't mind single file down
The runway
Feelin' fine and I'll see you
My friend
Over and Over again

Who can we get on the case?
We need Perry Mason
Someone to put you in place
Calling Perry Mason again

Riding painted horses, oh the
Kids they love it so
You can see it on their faces
How they love the wind to blow

Minding my own business
Like my mama always said
But if I don't try to help'um
They could wind up on the front page

Wake me when it's over tell me
It's all right
Just keep on talking baby, I've
Been doing this all night
How much did you give me, tell
Me it'll be all right

(O.Osbourne-J.Vallance)

There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinnable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs
Or unsingable songs
There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable Gods
There are no unnameable names
Shall I say it again? Yeah
There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much

I just want you
I just want you

There are no uncriminal crimes
There are no unrhymeable rhymes
There are no identical twins or
Forgiveable sins
There are no incurable ills
There are no unkillable thrills
One thing and you know it's true
I don't ask much

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I think I'll buy myself some plastic water
I guess I should have married Lennon's daughter
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

There are no unachievable goals
There are no unsavable souls
No legitimate kings or queens
Do you know what I mean? Yeah
There are no indisputable truths
And there ain't no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much

(O.Osbourne-G.Butler-Z.Wylde)

Your thoughts are compromising
Self-centered patronizing
Your image supersedes your soul

You find me mystifying
Subhuman so annoying
You can't have me under control

You think you live forever
You don't find that profound
You won't think you're so clever
When you hear thunder underground
All right now

Your morbid fear of losing
Destroys the lives you're using
You only have one point of view

The stigma of delusion
Confirms your self illusion
And after all this could be you

When you hear thunder underground
Here we go now

Could it be that I have found my mind
Or have I gone insane?
Roller coaster of the madness
And there's only me to blame
The ever faithful hand of doom
Will take the pain away
I'll never know the answer to it all
'Til my dying day

Your bullshit culture licking
Can't stop the deathwatch ticking
You're only mortal after all

Your appetite for power
Subverts your every hour
But every time the mighty fall

(O.Osbourne-L.Kilmister-Z.Wylde)

Voices, A thousand thousand voices
Whispering, the time has passed for choices
Golden days are passing over, Yeah

I can't seem to see you baby
Although my eyes are open wide
But I know I'll see you once more
When I see you, I'll see you on the other side
Yes I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side

Leaving, I hate to see you cry
Grieving, I hate to say goodbye
Dust and ash forever

Though I know we must be parted
As sure as stars are in the sky
I'm gonna see when it comes to glory
And I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side
Yes I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side

Never thought I'd feel like this
Strange to be alone Yeah
But we'll be together
Carved in stone, carved in stone, carved in stone

Hold me, hold me tight I'm falling
Far away, distant voices calling
I'm so cold I need you darling Yeah

I was down but now I'm flying
Straight across the great divide
I know you're crying
But I'll stop you crying

I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the anti-Christ or the iron man
I have a vision that I just can't control
I feel I've lost my spirit and sold my soul
Got no control

I try to entertain you the best I can
I wish I'd started walking before I ran
But I still love the feeling I get from you
I hope you'll never stop cause it gets me through yeah
It gets me through yeah

The feelings that I hide behind
Sometimes reality's unkind
The nightmares stalk for me at night
I dread the long and lonely nights

I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the anti-Christ or the iron man
But I still love the feeling I get from you
I hope you'll never stop cause it gets me through yeah

I'm just trying live yeah
I'm just trying live yeah
I'm just trying live yeah

Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime

After all there's only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself
Time after time

I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those Who will come after us ...
This time

I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn't really matter much to me
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream of fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and biggotry ...
Be gone?

I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away
Today
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Okay
I'm just a dreamer
Who's searching for the way
Today
I'm just a dreamer
Dreaming my life away

Looking to the mirror from the other side
Seeing your reflection, and a ghost of mine
Trying to deny it, but the damage is done
Under sergeants orders
But the race is run

You've got to tell me it's over it now
I'm trapped inside of a dream
The crushing weight on my shoulders now
Is bearing down and it seems
There's just no easy way out
No easy way out

Read your daily fiction
Superman is dead
Crushing pounds of silver
Imitating lead
Then if he will fix it
Children of the past
I guess it isn't welcome
Doesn't time move fast?

You've got to tell me it's over it now
I'm trapped inside of a dream
The crushing weight on my shoulders now
Is bearing down and it seems
There's just no easy way out
No easy way out

Night and the shadow of man
This is the dawn of the dead
Don't let it live in your head
And then now as the sabbath begins
It makes your nightmare again
So run away if you can, so just run, run as fast as you can

You've got to tell me it's over it now
I'm trapped inside of a dream
The crushing weight on my shoulders now
Is bearing down and it seems
There's just no easy way out
Too late to tell me it's over now
Falling apart at the seams
No angel sits on my shoulder now
I hold my head and it screams
There's just no easy way out
No easy way out
