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! 

 Nobody knows where you are, 
 How near or how far. 
 Shine on you crazy diamond. 
 Pile on many more layers 
 And I'll be joining you there. 
 Shine on you crazy diamond. 
 And we'll bask in the shadow 
 Of yesterday's triumph, 
 Sail on the steel breeze.  [bad word] on you boy child, 
 You winner and loser,  [bad word] on you miner 
 For [bad word] and delusion, and shine!
