Ozzy Lyrics

Ozzman Cometh 1997

Black Sabbath
(Alt. Lyrics previously unreleased)

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one

Oh no!

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh God help me! Oh No!

Child cries out for his mother
Mother screaming in the fire
Satan points at me again
Opens the door to push me in
Oh no, oh God

Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
People running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware!
No, no, please God no!

War Pigs
(alt. lyrics previously unreleased)

Witches gathered at black masses
Bodies burning in red ashes
On the hill, the church of ruins
Is the scene of evil doins
It's the place for all bad sinners
Watch them eating dead rat dinners

Carry banners which denounce the Lord
See me rocking in my Grave
See them anoint my head
With dead rats blood
See them stick and stifle me

Don't hold me back
Cause I just gotta go
They've got a hold of my soul now
Lords got my brain in synch with blood unseen
Lords got my eyes up there, I know

Yeah!

On the scene a priest appears
Sinners falling at his knees
Satan sends our funeral pyre
Casts the priest into the fire
It's the place for all bad sinners
Watching them eat dead rat dinners

I guess the same
Wherever you may go
Oh Lord yeah!

Goodbye To Romance

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

Crazy Train

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
Life's a bitter shame
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-h

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

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

(solo)

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

Over The Mountain

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.

Paranoid
(Live with Randy Rhoads)

All right were gonna do Paranoid!
Let's go!

Finished with my woman
'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane
Because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
Of I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me
Occupy my brain
Oh yeah

Come on I wanna see your f*ckin hands!

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

Let me see your hands now!

Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me us so unreal

Come on come on

And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but it's too late
Come on let me see your hands!
Thank you good night we love you all!

Bark At The Moon

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 this 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 (oh no)

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

Shot In The Dark

Out on the street
I'm stalking the night
I can hear my heavy breathing
Paid for the kill
But it doesn't seem right
Something there I can't believe in

Voices are calling from inside my head
I can hear them
I can hear them Vanishing memories
Of things that were said
They can't try to hurt me now

But a shot in the dark
One step away from you
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you

Taught by the powers
That preach over me
I can hear their empty reason
I wouldn't listen
I learnt how to fight
I opened up my mind to treason

But just like the wounded
And when it's too late
They'll remember
They'll surrender
Never a care for the people who hate
Underestimate me now

But a shot in the dark
One step away from you
A shot in the dark
Nothing that you can do
A shot in the dark
Always creeping up on you
All right

Crazy Babies

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,
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,
So you'd better leave me alone tonight.

Nobody's gonna change me, change me
I'm gonna do this 'til I die,
Nobody's gonna tame me, tame me,
So you better not try

Walk that walk,
Talk that talk,
Walk that walk,
Talk that talk.

Crazy. . . Babies. . .
No use talking 'bout if they'll last,
Where they're goin'
Or about their past
They're just the result of our society,
So frustrated
Just like you and me

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,
Walk that walk,
Talk that talk.

No More Tears (edit)

The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in a 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 no supposed to
Talk to strangers
Look in the mirror
Tell me do you think your life's in danger
Here ya

No more tears
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
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears

(spoken)
He who laughs last is just a hand in the bush

So now that it's over can't we just say good-bye?
(bye-bye, bye-bye)
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
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears

(spoken)
It's just a hand in the bush
Put it in the bush, put it in the bush, put it in the bush

Mama, I'm Coming Home

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
Everyday we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah

'Cause mama, mama, I'm coming home
I'm coming home

You 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

I've seen your face a thousand times
Everyday we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah

'Cause mama, mama, I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

I Don't Want To Change The World (Live)

Ew! Let me see you rock 'n' roll c'mon!

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 your pity for the shape I'm in

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want to 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
For telling all the people the original sin
He says he knows you better than you'll ever know him

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

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

C'mon!
C'mon you guys! He's louder than you!

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

Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want to world to change me
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want to world to change me
Go, go, go!

I Just Want You

There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinnable wars
There are now unrightable wrongs or unsingable songs

There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable Gods
There re 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 unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins or forgivable 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 just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you

I'm sick and tired of bein' sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired
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 unsaveable 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

I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you
I just want you
Hey yeah
I just want you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you
Hey
I just want you
I just want you

Back On Earth

I have fallen from grace
And my ashes are scattered
No longer of passion and flesh
My flame is alive
Though my wings have been shattered
They laid my body to rest

My spirit is breathing
My senses are pure
Like reincarnation
My soul will endure, ohhhh

Back on earth
Back on earth
Back on earth
The spirit - it never lets go

Like fountains of sorrow the faces are crying
I'm witnessing all of their pain
Death is so final for only the living
The spirit will always remain

Bury me deep just to cover my sins
My soul is redeemed as the journey begins

Back on earth
(you feel me)
Back on earth
(reveal me)
Back on earth
The spirit it never lets go

(solo)

Another dimension, a river of light
I'm twisting,
I'm turning,
My soul is in flight

Back on earth
(you feel me)
Back on earth
(reveal me)
Back on earth
(still breathing)
Back on earth
(reliving)

Fairies Wear Boots
(alt. lyrics previously unreleased)

Goin home late last night
Yeah all of a sudden I got a fright
Yeah I looked through the window
And surprised what I saw
Fairies wearing boots and dancin with the dwarfs
All right now

Yeah Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah I saw
I saw it I tell you no lies
Yeah fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it
I saw it with my own two eyes

All right now yeah

So I went to the doctor to see what he could give me
He said son, son you've gone too far
'Cause smokin' and drinkin' is all that you do

Yeah, all right now!

Behind The Wall Of Sleep
(alt lyrics previously unreleased)

Visions come from within the flower
Deadly petals with strange power
Faces shine a deadly smile
Back up on you at your trial
Chill and numbs from head to toe
Icy sun with frosty glow
Why'd you go reaching your sorrow
Why'd you go read no tomorrow

Feel your spirit rise with the priest
Feel your body falling to it's knees
Take your walk of remorse
Take your body to a corpse
Take your body to a corpse
Take your body to a corpse
If you want all remorse
Take your body to a corpse

Yeah

And now from darkness,
There springs light
Wall of Sleep is cold and bright
Wall of Sleep is lying broken
Sun shines in,
You have awoken
