Nightmare

Ozzy Osbourne · Other Songs - Ozzy Osbourne

Thoughts about you just won't let me sleep at night

Blinded by obsession and despair

All you are is just synthetic paradise

Steal my love from me without a prayer



The euphoria rushes through my veins

The eternal possession driving me insane

I must be dreaming



I'm running fast but getting nowhere

I see the light but I never get there

I hope I wake when the morning gets here

Your love is like a nightmare



Feed me lies and cover with a smile of grace

Promise me the truth and I'll be saved

Take away the pain and make my heart be brave

Comfort me forever, I'm your slave



I know there will be a price to pay

I'll feel the guilt tomorrow but I'm numb today

I'm dreaming



I'm running fast but getting nowhere

I see the light but I never get there

I hope I wake when the morning gets here

Your love is like a nightmare



[SOLO]



I'm running fast but getting nowhere

I see the light but I never get there

I hope I wake when the morning gets here

Your love is like a nightmare



I'm running fast but getting nowhere

I see the light but I never get there

I hope I wake when the morning gets here

Your love is like a nightmare
