Hear Ozzy Osbourne Join Billy Morrison on ‘Crack Cocaine’ Song


Billy Idol guitarist Billy Morrison has released his new song “Crack Cocaine,” featuring Ozzy Osbourne and guitarist Steve Stevens.

You can hear the song below.

“Crack Cocaine” begins with some subdued, bluesy tones before exploding with a wave of guitar. Osbourne handles vocals on the track, his instantly-recognizable voice rising above the riffage with authority.

Throughout the tune, lyrics compare love with addiction, like on the emphatic chorus: “Loving you is driving me insane / I put you down and pick you up again / Like Crack Cocaine.”

Meanwhile, Morrison and Stevens — who play together in Billy Idol’s band — trade hearty guitar licks throughout the heavy-hitting track.

The Morrison Project Is Loaded With Guest Stars

“Crack Cocaine” is the second song released from Morrison’s upcoming album, The Morrison Project.

In addition to Osbourne and Stevens, other guest artists featured on the LP include Idol, Corey Taylor, DMC, Al Jourgensen, Steve Vai, Linda Perry, Tommy Clufetos and John 5.

“One of the greatest things about writing this album was being able to let my guest singers do their own thing,” Morrison explained via press release. “I would send them the track with no guidelines and just had them do whatever they felt. I think that gave those songs an energy and a life force that would not be there if I had tried to get involved in their lyrics or their melodies. And I loved everything they all did!”

The Morrison Project will be released April 19.

Billy Morrison, “Crack Cocaine” Lyrics

via A-Z Lyrics

I guess the way that your love makes me feel
Must mean I’m really addicted
Sometimes I wonder, is your love really real?
Or am I simply afflicted

I can’t stop thinking of you
You just control me
I wanna have you all to myself
And give you love unrestricted

Loving you is driving me insane
I put you down and pick you up again
Like crack cocaine

Your love is like a drug that I can’t control
I can’t live with or without you
You keep me coming back again and again
You’re even good in a bad dream

Loving you is driving me insane
I put you down and pick you up again
Like crack cocaine

I never thought I’d have you back again
Crack cocaine
And now I’m running out of cash again
Crack cocaine
And all you ever do is bring me pain

Loving you is driving me insane
I put you down and pick you up again
Loving you is driving me insane
Like crack cocaine
