Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Remember when you were young
You shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the cross fire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger
You legend, you martyr and shine
You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well, you wore out your welcome
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions
Come on you painter
You piper, you prisoner and shine
Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
How more, many more layers
Will there be drawn in you there?
Shine on you crazy in diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday's triumph
Sail on the steel breeze
Come on you butcher
You winner and loser, come on you miner
For truth and delusion and shine
You shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the cross fire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger
You legend, you martyr and shine
You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well, you wore out your welcome
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions
Come on you painter
You piper, you prisoner and shine
Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
How more, many more layers
Will there be drawn in you there?
Shine on you crazy in diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday's triumph
Sail on the steel breeze
Come on you butcher
You winner and loser, come on you miner
For truth and delusion and shine
