"Flying High Again" is a song by British heavy metal rock artist Ozzy Osbourne. It is the 2nd track on his 1981 album, "Diary of a Madman". This song seems to pertain to the usage of drugs, with "Flying High" meaning "getting high: the use of the line "Mama's gonna worry, I've been a bad, bad boy" might refer to Sharon Osbourne, who Ozzy has often referred to as "Mama," worrying about Ozzy's health during his drug addiction. However, Bob Daisley was Ozzy's main lyricist at the time, so this is doubtful.

It has reached No. 2 In the Mainstream Rock Charts in 1982.

There are a number of the references in the song that sound like a description of Synesthesia, or perhaps the effects of taking LSD.
