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 [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 [bad word] on you raver, you seer of [bad word] on you painter,
You piper, you prisoner, and shine!
