Remember when you were young
You shine 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 on 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
