Lyrics shot in the dark ozzy osbourne

Out on the street, I'm stalking the night,
I can hear my heavy breathing.
Paid for the kill but it doesn't seem right;
something there I can believe in .
Voices are calling from inside my head.
I can hear them, I can hear them,
vanishing memories of things that were said,
they can't try to hurt me now.

But a shot in the dark, one step away from you.
A shot in the dark, always creeping up on you

Taught by the powers that preach over me
I can hear their empty reason
I wouldn't listen I learnt how to fight
I opened up my mind to treason

But just like the wounded and when it's too late
They'll remember they'll surrender
Never a care for the people who hate
Underestimate me now

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark not a thing that you can do
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you
But just like the wounded and when it's too late
They'll remember they'll surrender
Never a care for the people who hate
Underestimate me now

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark not a thing that you can do
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you

Ozzy Osbourne

About Shot in the Dark

"Shot in the Dark" is a song most famously performed by heavy metal solo artist Ozzy Osbourne. It is the ninth and final track on his 1986 album The Ultimate Sin. A top-ten hit on Mainstream rock radio, the song also became his most successful single on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time, peaking at number 68. The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan. Whilst the song is most commonly attributed to Ozzy Osbourne, the writing of the song originated with bassist Phil Soussan, who was part of the band Wildlife in the early 1980s and composed the tune's melody. Subsequently, fellow Wildlife bandmates Steve Overland and Chris Overland wrote the original lyrics and arrangement and demoed a derivative version of the song. Meanwhile, when Soussan joined Ozzy's band several years later, his original version of the song was re-worked with Ozzy. However, people have not only disputed whether the Overland brothers deserve writing credit for Osbourne's version, but also questioned Osbourne's role in the writing of this version. This authorship issue has become a source of contention over the years, and in spite of its success, the song has rarely appeared on Ozzy Osbourne greatest hits compilations as a result. One exception was the original release of The Ozzman Cometh; however, the song was omitted from the 2002 re-mastered re-release of this compilation and replaced with "Miracle Man." Both Just Say Ozzy (an EP containing an alternate version of "Shot in the Dark") and The Ultimate Sin were deleted from Ozzy's catalog in 2002 (although they are now available on iTunes and all digital outlets). more »
