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
