Junkie
Ozzy Osbourne · Other Songs - Ozzy Osbourne
YOUÂ’RE COMING DOWN BADLY
YOUÂ’RE CRIPPLED INSIDE
A RAT IN YOUR SEWER
YOUÂ’VE NO PLACE TO HIDE
A GUT RENCHING FEVER
ADDICTED TO DEATH
YOU DONÂ’T GIVE A FUCK IF IT MEANS YOUR LAST BREATH
YOU TRY TO SO HARD TO QUIT, BUT YOUÂ’LL NEVER ADMIT
YOUÂ’RE THE JUNKIE
THEREÂ’S NO REASONING WHY CAUSE THE MIRROR DONÂ’T LIE
YOUÂ’RE THE JUNKIE
YOU CRAVE FOR THE NEEDLE TO STICK IN YOUR VEIN
CANÂ’T WAIT FOR THE POISON TO KILL ALL THE PAIN
YOU BUY A CHEAP TICKET TO TAKE A SHORT RIDE
THAT BEAUTIFUL FLOWER IS EATING YOUR MIND
YOU TRY TO SO HARD TO QUIT, BUT YOUÂ’LL NEVER ADMIT
YOUÂ’RE THE JUNKIE
THEREÂ’S NO REASONING WHY CAUSE THE MIRROR DONÂ’T LIE
YOUÂ’RE THE JUNKIE
YOUR NAME MEANS NOTHING, YOU DONÂ’T KNOW THE SCORE
BODY IS ACHING YOU STILL CRAVE FOR MORE
SOMETIMES YOU WISH THAT YOUÂ’D NEVER BEEN BORN
TORMENTING CAME WITH A CROWN FULL OF THORNS
YOUR CHASING THE DRAGON, YOUÂ’RE CHASING THE HIGH
A BIRD WITH ONE WING WHOÂ’S STILL TRYING TO FLY
YOUÂ’RE ALL OUT OF SPIRIT, A DEAD MAN ALIVE
A BORN AGAIN JUNKIE, YOUÂ’LL NEVER SURVIVE
YOU TRY TO SO HARD TO QUIT, BUT YOUÂ’LL NEVER ADMIT
YOUÂ’RE THE JUNKIE
THEREÂ’S NO REASONING WHY CAUSE THE MIRROR DONÂ’T LIE
YOUÂ’RE THE JUNKIE
JUNKIEÂ…..JUNKIEÂ….JUNKIEÂ…..
YOUÂ’RE CRIPPLED INSIDE
