Walk On Water Lyrics
I MET A MAGIC MAN,WHO HAD A DAUGHTER
SHE LEARNED HER LESSONS WELL,BUT STILL I TAUGHT HER
SHE FOLLOWED WILLINGLY,AS LAMBS TO SLAUGHTER
WE SHARED FORBIDEN FRUITS,AND THINGS I BROUGHT HER
YOU MAY SAY I'M A MIRACLE MANNEQUIN,
HERE I COME WITH MY MYSTICAL PLAN AGAIN,
ALTHOUGH YOU THINK I CAN,I'M JUST A MAN
AND I DON'T WALK ON WATER (OH NO)
I DON'T WALK ON WATER (OH NO)
I FOLLOWED WILLINGLY,A SWEET TEMPTATION
SHE HAD ME HYPNOTIZED,AND STILL I'M WAITING
MY DROMEDARY DREAMS AS WET AS OCEANS
WITH SAND DUNES BEARING SEEDS SHE SET IN MOTION
YOU MAY SAY I'M A CYNICAL CHARLATAN
THERE I GO WITH MY WHIMSICAL WAYS AGAIN
ALTHOUGH YOU THINK I CAN,I'M JUST A MAN
AND I DON'T WALK ON WATER (OH NO)
KALIEDOSCOPIAL EYES AS YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR
AND THE LONG IS GETTING SHORTER AS THE FAR IS NOW NEARER
ARE YOU JUST A MIRROR STANDING IN FRONT OF ME?
AM I BLIND,CAN MY EYES REALLY SEE?
YOU MAY SAY I'M A MIRACLE MANNEQUIN,
HERE I COME WITH MY MYSTICAL PLAN AGAIN,
ALTHOUGH YOU THINK I CAN,I'M JUST A MAN (OH NO)
AND I DON'T WALK ON WATER (OH NO)
MY DROMEDARY DREAMS AS WET AS OCEANS
WITH SAND DUNES BEARING SEEDS SHE SET IN MOTION
MY DROMEDARY DREAMS (3X)
SHE LEARNED HER LESSONS WELL,BUT STILL I TAUGHT HER
SHE FOLLOWED WILLINGLY,AS LAMBS TO SLAUGHTER
WE SHARED FORBIDEN FRUITS,AND THINGS I BROUGHT HER
HERE I COME WITH MY MYSTICAL PLAN AGAIN,
ALTHOUGH YOU THINK I CAN,I'M JUST A MAN
AND I DON'T WALK ON WATER (OH NO)
I DON'T WALK ON WATER (OH NO)
SHE HAD ME HYPNOTIZED,AND STILL I'M WAITING
MY DROMEDARY DREAMS AS WET AS OCEANS
WITH SAND DUNES BEARING SEEDS SHE SET IN MOTION
THERE I GO WITH MY WHIMSICAL WAYS AGAIN
ALTHOUGH YOU THINK I CAN,I'M JUST A MAN
AND I DON'T WALK ON WATER (OH NO)
AND THE LONG IS GETTING SHORTER AS THE FAR IS NOW NEARER
AM I BLIND,CAN MY EYES REALLY SEE?
HERE I COME WITH MY MYSTICAL PLAN AGAIN,
ALTHOUGH YOU THINK I CAN,I'M JUST A MAN (OH NO)
AND I DON'T WALK ON WATER (OH NO)
WITH SAND DUNES BEARING SEEDS SHE SET IN MOTION

One of the best Ozzy songs I've ever heard. The Beavis and Butt-Head Do America soundtrack rocks.
I have never been able to find the version used in the movie.
I wouldent say one of the best...but i still like it alote. mostly because it makes me think of belly dancers from egypt
yes dance my preetys dance
and the movie version can be found on the "Prince of Darkness" box set. Every one should own that set evan people that cant hear or those that dont have the means to play it
This song is great. Ever since I saw Beavis and Butt-head Do America, I've been trying to find this song. I knew that it was Ozzy, but not much more than that. I kept thinking that the song was called Magic Man because of the line "I MET A MAGIC MAN,WHO HAD A DAUGHTER" And thats the only line that you could make a title out of. Anyways, I enjoy the song and thanks to Papafrye I now Know where to get the movie version.
I LOVE THIS SONG!! ITS AMAZING!!! this song is only on the beavis and butthead do amercia soundtrack and the prince of darkness box set. i first heard this song a few years back on beavis and butthead and have loved it ever since.
Now back to the song I think its talking about people who meet ozzy and are totaly star-struck and don't know how to treat him like a normal person and instead treat him like the madman he's shown to be and he just took the idea and streached it out
It's so good. My second favorite Ozzy Song, no doubt.
It's so good. My second favorite Ozzy Songs, no doubt.
the one in prince of darkness is way better than the final version, the one on beavis and butthead soundtrack.
Okay, first off I think that the lines are NOT "My dromedary dreams as wet as oceans ..With sand dunes bearing seeds she set in motion". I believe it should be "My Londonderry dreams, to cross the oceans, We sail through burning seas, she sets in motion." Remember that Ozzy is British, and therefore the "London" is pronounced differently than Yanks say it. Londonderry is a british seaport.
Next, the line "Although you think I can, I'm just a man, and I don't walk on water". What I hear on this is "Although you think I can, I'll just admit it --- I don't walk on water, oh no....."
As far as meaning, whether you think of this as being about Ozzy himself, or just anyone who finds themself in the situation of having someone infatuated with them. The other person thinks you can walk on water -- but you are admitting to them and to yourself that you are in fact human.
One of my top ten all-time favorite songs.
