Ghost Behind My Eyes
Ozzy Osbourne · Ozzmosis
she comes to visit every night in bed
I fight the demon, but it just won't fall
The voices in my dungeon starting to call
The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you,
You are the ghost behind my eyes
I can't see through you,
You are the ghost behind my eyes
The ghost that tells me lies
The princess of the dark has made my mind home
My haunted head and her won't leave me along
She dances on my heart with fire in my soul
I hate that feeling when I'm losing control
The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you,
You are the ghost behind my eyes
I can't see through you,
You are the ghost behind my eyes
The ghost that tells me lies
I wish to God that I could sleep again,
Oh peace again
And wake up from this nightmare free again
Free again,
Oh me again
There is a woman in my head
She comes to visit every night in bed
The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you,
You are the ghost behind my eyes
You, you are the ghost I behind my eyes
You, you are the ghost I behind my eyes
The ghost behind my eyes
Behind my eyes
The ghost behind my eyes
The ghost behind my eyes
