Can You Hear Them?
Ozzy Osbourne · Other Songs - Ozzy Osbourne
IÂ’VE LIVED SO MANY LIVES AND STILL I WONDER WHY
THE WAY THE WORLD PERCEIVES ME IS NOT THE WAY I AM
THE ONE HALF THINKS IÂ’M CRAZY, THE OTHER THINKS IÂ’M MAD
I SPENT A LONG LONG TIME, ALONE IN MY ROOM
I NEED YOUR HELP TO GET ME OUT OF THIS GLOOM
CAN YOU HEAR THEM?
ALL THE VOICES IN MY HEADÂ….THEY FREAK ME OUT
CAN YOU HEAR THEM?
THEY WONÂ’T BE HAPPY TILL IÂ’M DEADÂ….THEY FREAK ME OUT
TEN THOUSAND MILLION NIGHTMARES,
TEMPTATION BY THE SCORE
I USED TO GET SO HIGH AND STILL I WANTED MORE
YOU THINK MY TIME IS WASTED IN SEARCH OF WHO I AM
I TRIED SO HARD TO KILL THE BOY INSIDE THE MAN
I SPENT A THOUSAND YEARS, ONE NIGHT IN MY ROOM
IÂ’VE LIVED SO MANY LIVES AND THAT IS MY DOOM
CAN YOU HEAR THEM?
ALL THE VOICES IN MY HEADÂ….THEY FREAK ME OUT
CAN YOU HEAR THEM?
THEY WONÂ’T BE HAPPY TILL IÂ’M DEADÂ….THEY FREAK ME OUT
I NEVER THOUGHT IÂ’D SMILE AGAIN
ALWAYS THOUGHT IÂ’D BE HERE ON MY OWN
SOMETIMES WHEN IÂ’M DOWN, YOU COME AND SAVE ME AGAIN
AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN
IÂ’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT, IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL
JUST LOOK AT WHAT IÂ’VE DONE, ITÂ’S TIME TO COUNT THE SCORE
I SPENT A LONG LONG TIME, ALONE IN MY ROOM
I NEED YOUR HELP TO GET ME OUT OF THIS GLOOM
CAN YOU HEAR THEM?
ALL THE VOICES IN MY HEADÂ….THEY FREAK ME OUT
CAN YOU HEAR THEM?
THEY WONÂ’T BE HAPPY TILL IÂ’M DEADÂ….THEY FREAK ME OUT
