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
