Flying High Again (Live) by Ozzy Osbourne

What i remember about this song was reading about it being used as an audition piece by Ozzy Osbourne to find the replacement for Randy Rhoads so that their tour might continue.

I read that Ozzy was on the corner of his hotel room bed and one of the eventual guitarist (could it be Bernie Tormé? ) played his electric guitar acoustically (not plugged in) and the performance moved Ozzy and he asked the guitarist if he would like to help Ozzy continue with the tour and close out the remaining shows.

I prefer the live version (from Tribute) as it has a faster tempo than the studio version which appeared on Diary of a Madman.




Oh no, oh no
Here we go, here we go now
Oh no, oh no
Here we go now

Got a crazy feelin' 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

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

If you could be inside of me
You'd see, you'd see what light I see
Flyin' high again, alright!

I can see through mountains watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colors of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy? You bet

Mama'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

Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again

Come on and join me

Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again

Oh no, oh no
Here we go now
Oh no, oh no
Here we go now

Daddy thinks I'm crazy 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

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

Flyin high again
Flyin high again
Flyin high again
Flyin high again

Come on And Join Me
