Vol 4

Black Sabbath Vol 4 Lyrics
1.Wheels of Confusion/ The Straightener

Long ago I wandered through my mind,
In the land of fairy tales and stories,
Lost in happiness I didn't know fears,
Innocence and love was all I knew,
Was an illusion

Soon the days were passing into haze,
Happiness just didn't come so easy,
Life was bored of fairy tales and daydreams,
Innocence was just another word,
Was an illusion

Lost in the wheels of (confusion/delusion),
Running through valleys of tears
Eyes full of angered illusion,
Hiding in ev'ry day dream

So I found that life is just a game,
But (you've known/you know) there's never been a winner,
Try your hardest, you'll still be a loser,
The world will still be turning when you've gone
Yeah when you've gone!


2.Tomorrow's Dream

Well, I'm leaving tomorrow at day break,
Had the fastest train around nine
Yes, I'm leaving this sorrow and heart-aches,
Before it takes me away from my mind

Send me love and I may let you see me,
Send me holes that can (fit/spin) in my head
But if you really want me to answer,
I could only let you know when I'm dead

When sadness fills my days,
It's time to turn away
And let tomorrow's dreams
become reality to me

Right!

So realize I'm much better without you,
You're not the one and only thing in my heart,
I'll just go back to pretending I'm living,
But this time I'm gonna have the star part


3.Changes

I feel unhappy, I feel so sad,
I lost the best friend that I ever had,
She was my woman, I loved her so,
But it's too late now, I've let her go

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

We shared the years, we shared each day,
In love together we found a way,
But soon the world had its evil way,
My heart was blinded,
Love went astray

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

It took so long to realize,
And I can still hear her last goodbyes,
Now all my days are filled with tears,
Wish I could go back and change these years

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

5.Supernaut

I wanna reach out and touch the sky
I wanna touch the sun but I don't need to fly
I'm gonna climb up ev'ry mountain on the moon,
And find the dish that ran away with the spoon

I've crossed the oceans, turned every bend
I found the plastic at the golden rainbow's end
I've been through magic and through life's reality
I've lived a thousand years, they never bothered me

Got no religion; don't need no friends
Got all I want and I don't need to pretend
Don't try to reach me 'cos I'll tear up your mind
I've seen the future and I've left it behind


6.Snowblind

What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my pain
Icicles within my brain
(Cocaine)

Something blowin' in my head
Winds of ice that soon will spread,
Down to freeze my very soul
Makes me happy makes me cold

My eyes are blind but I can see,
The snowflakes glisten on the tree(s)
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel the snowflakes freezing me

Let the winter sunshine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Fill my dreams of flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling globe

Right!

Don't you think I know what I'm doing?
Don't tell me that's it's doing me wrong
You're the one that's really the loser
This is where I feel I belong
Blind!

Crystal world with winter flowers,
Turn my days to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?


7.Cornucopia

Too much near the truth they say,
Keep it 'till another day,
Let them have their little game,
Illusion helps to keep them sane

Let them have their little toys,
Matchbox cars and mortgage joys,
Exciting in their plastic waste,
Frozen food in a concrete maze

You're gonna go insane,
I'm tryin' ta save your brain

Alright!

I don't know what's happening,
My head's all torn inside
People say I'm heavy,
They don't know what I hide

Take a life, it's going cheap,
Kill someone no one will weep,
Freedom's yours, just pay your dues,
We just want your soul to use

You're gonna go insane,
I'm tryin' to save your brain

9.St. Vitus' Dance

So you think you know what's going on inside her head,
You think she wants your money
but it's you she wants instead

When you think about the things that she did long ago,
It breaks your heart, but deep down,
boy you don't want her to go

You feel your nerves are shattering,
ya feel you wanna die,
Just because the one mistake of telling you a lie

If I were you I'd try again and try (to)* make amends,
She only thinks of you, you know, I'm talking as a friend

* Implied but not sung


10.Under the Sun/ Every Day Comes and Goes

Well, I don't want no Jesus freak to tell me what it's all
about,
No black magician telling me to cut my soul out,
Don't believe in violence; I don't even believe in peace
I've opened the door now my mind's been (release/relieved)

Well, I don't want no preacher telling me about the god in the
sky,
No, I don't want no one to tell me where I'm gonna go when I die
I wanna live my life I don't want people telling me what to do
I just believe in myself, 'cos no one else is true

Ev'ry day just comes and goes
Life is one long overdose
People drive to ruination
I can see through their frustration

People hiding their real faces,
Each one running their rat races
Behind each flow'r there grows a weed
in their world of make-believe

So believe what I tell you;
It's the only way you'll find in the end
Just believe in yourself you know you really shouldn't have to
pretend
Don't let those empty people try and interfere with your mind
Just live your life and leave them all behind
