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 on the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze [bad word] on, you target for faraway laughter [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze [bad word] on, you raver, you seer of visions [bad word] on, you painter, you piper, you prisoner
And shine !
