| 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 crossfire 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 |
