Spiders In The Night
Ozzy Osbourne · Bark at the Moon
Spiders in the night
Creeping round the walls
Now you'll feel him crawling over you
Creepy crawly things
Filling up your bed
Soon you'll feel him crawling through your brain
You think he's there
Beware his bite
But when you look
The spiders not in sight
Spiders reappear
Taking people's names
Everything is taken down in sane
There's no way out
And there's no key
But here's a clue
The spider's really me
You're written in his book
The spiders won't forget
You won't forget the spiders in the night
You think he's gone
You think he's dead
There's no escape
The spiders in your head
Creeping round the walls
Now you'll feel him crawling over you
Creepy crawly things
Filling up your bed
Soon you'll feel him crawling through your brain
You think he's there
Beware his bite
But when you look
The spiders not in sight
Spiders reappear
Taking people's names
Everything is taken down in sane
There's no way out
And there's no key
But here's a clue
The spider's really me
You're written in his book
The spiders won't forget
You won't forget the spiders in the night
You think he's gone
You think he's dead
There's no escape
The spiders in your head
Spiders In The Night
Released on the 1983 album Bark at the Moon, Ozzy Osbourne's 'Spiders In The Night' stands as a defining track of hard rock and heavy metal. The song features Osbourne's signature raw vocal delivery and a driving, distorted guitar riff that became a staple of his discography. It captures the aggressive energy of the early 1980s metal scene, blending bluesy influences with the heavier sound that would characterize his later work. As a key recording from this period, the track exemplifies the power and intensity that made Ozzy a central figure in the genre's evolution during the early era.
