  • 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 I 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

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

    Don't need no astrology it's inside of you and me
    You don't need a ticket to fly with me, I'm free, yeah

    Over and under in between the ups and downs
    Mind on a 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 fly with me, I'm free, yeah Writer/s: John Osbourne

I wish I could've ever went to at least one of ur concerts and I've always wished i could meet u in person bcuz ive always been crazy about u and ur music. I've also always thought one of my friends looked like u. Regretfully he's dead now bcuz be shot himself while playing russian roulette and he was my best friend in the world. Keep rockin it Ozzy! Maybe one of these days I'll have enough money to meet u at ur concert or possibly my wish be granted one of these days. Take care of u and urs always best of wishes to yall. Much love to u.
  • Jodie from XxThis is one of my favorite Ozzy songs.
  • Chris from Norman, OkI read that Ozzy said randy came up with the solo on his own which is very similar to one in "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath. Ozzy also said randy had never heard it. Eerie.
