Jump The Moon
Ozzy Osbourne · Other Songs - Ozzy Osbourne
Another week to back break
Keep him alive for god's sake
High and dry I wonder will he survive
A broken mirror and a stolen soul
He's an all night soldier of love
He swallowed down another fantasy pill
To give himself a push and a shove
Tonight's the night he's going to jump the moon
I hope he'll never crash and burn too soon
?
It's just the breath we borrow
Live today like there is no tomorrow
Another daylight foreigner
He's just a weekend warrior
Come Monday play like anyone
Lost and found and turned around
He only listens to the voice in his head
Can't separate the truths from the lies
A wounded creature that just won't slow down
You can tell by the look in his eyes
Tonight's the night he's going to jump the moon
I hope he'll never crash and burn too soon
?
It's just the breath we borrow
Live today like there is no tomorrow
Whoa..
He's flying high with his silver spoon
OH..
He's really gonna try to jump
jump the moon
Tonight's the night he's going to jump the moon
I hope he'll never crash and burn too soon
?
I't just the breath we borrow
Live today like there is no tomorrow
(repeat chorus)
Jump The Moon
Ozzy Osbourne's 'Jump The Moon' stands as a defining track from his early career, capturing the raw energy and melodic sensibilities of the late 1970s hard rock era. Recorded during the formative period of his solo work, the song exemplifies the blend of blues-influenced vocals and driving guitar riffs that would characterize his subsequent discography. Released alongside other seminal tracks, it reflects the transitional style of the time, bridging the gap between the heavy, riff-centric sound of bands like Black Sabbath and the polished rock production emerging in the early 1980s. The recording showcases Osbourne's distinctive vocal delivery, characterized by its gritty tone and soaring high notes, which became a hallmark of his identity as a frontman. As a staple of his early catalogue, the song remains a significant example of the genre's evolution during this pivotal decade.
