	Notes The original name of this album was to be Snowblind. "The Straightener" on the first song refers to the instrumental part at the end. Most copies of the album/CD do not have that name on the album. The same thing goes for "Every Day Comes & Goes" on the final track. The song "Changes" was revived and played live in 1995 when Sabbath played Japan on the Forbidden tour. "Changes" was covered by Kelly Osbourne (with Ozzy) on her 2003 album "Changes" (formerly Shut Up) The duet version of Changes with Kelly Osbourne reached #1 on the British charts in December of 2003.

NOTE: These lyrics are verified against the lyrics that appear in the "Black Box" booklet. Those lyrics were gone over by Geezer Butler (who wrote most of them anyway) for that set, and for that reason should be considered definitive.


	Wheels of Confusion / The Straightener Long ago I wandered through my mind In the land of fairy tales and stories Lost in happiness I knew no fears Innocence and love was all I knew It was an illusion Soon the days went passing into years Happiness just didn't come so easy Life was more than fairy tales and daydreams Innocence was just another word It was an illusion Lost in the wheels of confusion Running through valleys of tears Eyes full of angry delusion Hiding in everyday fears So I found that life is just a game But you know there's never been a winner Try your hardest, just to be a loser The world will still be turning when you're gone Yeah, when you're gone!


	Tomorrow's Dream Well I'm leaving tomorrow at daybreak Catch the fastest train that I find Yes I'm leaving the sorrow and heartache Before it takes me away from my mind Send me love and I may let you see me Send me hopes I can fit in my head But if you really want me to answer I can 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 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 So this time I'm gonna have the star part


	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 That 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

Instrumental

Supernaut

I want to reach out and touch the sky
I want to touch the sun
But I don't need to fly
I'm gonna climb up
Every mountain of the moon
And find the dish that ran
Away with the spoon

I've crossed the ocean, turned every bend
I found the plastic and the gold at rainbow's end
I've seen through magic and through life's reality
I've lived a thousand years and never found the key
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
'Cause I'll tear up your mind
I've seen the future
And I've left it behind


	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 blowing 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 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 with flakes of snow Soon I'll feel the chilling glow Don't you think I know what I'm doing Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong You're the one that's really a loser This is where I feel I belong Kiss the world with winter flowers Turn my day to frozen hours Lying snowblind in the sun Will my ice age ever come?


	Cornucopia Too much near the truth they say Keep it 'til another day Let them have their little game Delusion helps to keep them sane Let them have their little toys Matchbox cars and mortgaged joys Exciting in their plastic ways Frozen food in a concrete maze You're gonna go insane I'm trying to save your brain All right 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 trying to save your brain

Laguna Sunrise

Instrumental

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 love to go
It breaks your heart but deep down
Boy you don't want her to go

You feel your love so shattering
You feel you want to 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


	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 cast my soul out Don't believe in violence, I don't even believe in peace I've opened the door now my mind has been released 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, 'cause no one else is true Every day just comes and goes Life is one long overdose People try to rule the nation I just see through their frustration People riding their real face Keep on running their rat race Behind each flower 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 to interfere with your mind Just live your life and leave them all behind
