Remember when you were young,<br />You shone like the sun.<br />Shine on you crazy diamond.<br />Now there's a look in your eyes,<br />Like black holes in the sky.<br />Shine on you crazy diamond.<br />You were caught on the crossfire<br />Of childhood and stardom,<br />Blown on the steel breeze.<br />Come on you target for faraway laughter,<br />Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!<br />You reached for the secret too soon,<br />You cried for the moon.<br />Shine on you crazy diamond.<br />Threatened by shadows at night,<br />And exposed in the light.<br />Shine on you crazy diamond.<br />Well you wore out your welcome<br />With random percision,<br />Rode on the steel breeze.<br />Come on you raver, you seer of visions,<br />Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
