Flying High Again
Ozzy Osbourne · Diary of a Madman
Got a crazy feeling 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
Momma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
'Cause you can't see
What my eyes see
I can see it,
I can see it
And you can't be inside of me,
Flying high again
I can see through the mountains
Watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colours of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy
You bet
Momma'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 read
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again come on and join me.
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again come on and join me.
Daddy thinks I'm lazy
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
Momma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Gotta get away from here
Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear
Momma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
'Cause you can't see
What my eyes see
I can see it,
I can see it
And you can't be inside of me,
Flying high again
I can see through the mountains
Watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colours of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy
You bet
Momma'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 read

Flying High Again
Released on Ozzy Osbourne's 1983 album Diary of a Madman, Flying High Again stands as a defining track of the new wave of heavy metal. The song features Osbourne's signature vocal delivery, characterized by a blend of melodic singing and aggressive shouting that became a hallmark of his solo career. Musically, it incorporates hard rock rhythms and synthesizer textures common to the era, creating a sound that balances aggression with atmospheric depth. As a staple of Osbourne's discography, the recording has become a cultural touchstone, frequently performed live and celebrated for its ability to capture the manic energy of the early 1980s metal scene while maintaining a distinct melodic hook.
